📌 Why this matters

Configuring notifications in Linear ensures that engineering and product teams stay informed about the activity that matters most — without the noise of irrelevant alerts. Linear's flexible notification system supports multiple channels including mobile push and email, giving users full control over how they are alerted for mentions, assignments, and reactions. Properly set up notification preferences help distributed teams respond faster, reduce missed updates, and maintain focus by filtering out low-priority interruptions. This makes Linear's notification settings a critical feature for any team relying on the platform for project and issue tracking.
