Notification types
Odin generates notifications for the following events:Billing and credits
Billing events raise their own notifications. These go to every member of the organisation in the Alert Centre, and the ones that need someone to act are also emailed (see Email notifications).
Billing covers the plans, Auto Deposit and frozen credits these events report on.
Finding-related notifications — New finding created, Finding status changed, and Discussion message — go to that finding’s followers, not the whole organisation. See Default finding subscribers for who follows a finding by default.
Following a finding — by clicking Follow, commenting on it, being
@mentioned, or being assigned — means status changes and discussion replies on it arrive as immediate Alert Centre entries. If you’ve only been subscribed automatically as a default subscriber and haven’t otherwise engaged with the finding, its routine updates arrive in your weekly summary instead. Assignment and @mentions always send an immediate alert.Grouped notifications
When several findings are reported or updated at once — for example when a pentest report is delivered — the Alert Centre shows a single grouped entry instead of one notification per finding, such as “12 findings reported”. Select Show findings on a grouped entry to expand the list of findings it covers. Each one links through to the finding itself. Click the grouped entry itself to open its linked findings together, or the assessment’s findings when the notification refers to an assessment. Finding groups keep their scope when you open and close a finding or export the list, including groups too large to fit on one page. A scoped finding group shows a banner with Clear notification scope to return to the wider list. Only findings you can access are shown; resolved findings in the group remain available.Weekly summary
Odin bundles status changes and discussion replies into a weekly summary — one email plus a matching Alert Centre entry — recapping activity across every finding you follow.- When it arrives: Monday morning, covering the previous week’s activity.
- What it covers: status changes and discussion replies across every finding you follow. It’s the primary way you’ll hear about findings where you’re only a default subscriber and haven’t otherwise engaged, since those don’t send an immediate alert.
- What’s excluded: assignments and @mentions always send an immediate alert and are never held back for the weekly summary.
- Opting out: turn off the weekly summary from your profile.
Email notifications
On top of the Alert Centre, a few events also send an email, so you don’t need to be watching the inbox to catch them:- Assigned to you: you’re emailed when a finding is assigned to you.
- Retest failed: if a finding assigned to you is retested and moves to Needs Revision, you’re emailed.
- Critical in a delivery: when a batch of newly reported findings includes at least one Critical, your organisation’s default finding subscribers are emailed.
- Weekly summary: a Monday-morning email recapping routine activity on every finding you follow — see Weekly summary above.
Billing emails
Billing events someone has to act on also send an email: Credit-debt limit reached, Auto Deposit failed, Plan payment failed, Plan activated, Plan downgrade scheduled, Plan downgrade applied, Plan cancellation scheduled, Plan cancelled, Frozen credits expiring soon, Frozen credits expired, and Adhoc credits restored. Each one links back to your billing page. These go to your organisation’s billing email address and to every Owner and Admin, since they are the people who can update a card or change a plan. The rest stay in the Alert Centre: the low-credit and out-of-credit warnings, successful Auto Deposits, plan upgrades, and credits being frozen.Slack notifications
If you’ve connected Slack, the connected channel receives new findings, retest failures, and finding assignments, plus a single weekly summary post covering that week’s digest. Routine status changes and discussion replies on findings you follow, whether from your organisation’s members or the Borg security team, don’t post to Slack individually. The weekly summary post covers them instead. The other notification types above stay in the Alert Centre only. From Management > Integrations, the Slack card’s Channel overrides let you route individual notification types to a channel other than your default. For example, you can send Finding assigned posts to a separate channel from new findings and status changes. Slack can do more than notify: you can ask @Odin about findings, triage them and link Slack threads to findings. See Slack. The weekly Slack post also includes a bounded snapshot of current actions when available: unresolved Critical/High findings, missing owners, open remediation PRs to check and recorded retest failures, with links to example findings. These counts are lower bounds, and open PRs do not establish approval status. You can also mention @Odin for an on-demand security briefing over a date range of up to 31 days.Personal Slack messages
If you’ve linked your Slack account from your profile, the Odin app can also message you directly in Slack about events that concern you:- Assigned to me: someone assigned you a finding.
- @mentions: someone mentioned you in a finding discussion.
- Replies on findings I follow: a new reply on a finding you follow.
- Retest results on my findings: a retest on a finding assigned to you failed or passed.
Filtering
Use the tabs at the top to switch between All notifications and Unread only. Odin remembers your choice for your account and organisation on this device. The unread count tracks notifications you have not read, not findings that still need action: a resolved finding can have an unread notification. The count includes notifications you have not loaded yet. The inbox loads your 50 most recent notifications first. Select Load older notifications at the bottom of the list to fetch the next 50. When there is nothing older, the list ends with No older notifications.Managing notifications
- Mark as read: hover an unread notification and click the tick icon to mark it read without leaving the inbox
- Mark all as read: the button above the list clears every unread notification in one go, including older ones you haven’t loaded, and greys out when you have nothing unread
- Mark several at once: hover a notification to reveal its checkbox, tick the ones you want, then choose Mark selected as read. Use Clear selection to drop your picks without changing anything
- Click to navigate: clicking a notification opens the item it refers to (a finding, report, pentest run, or asset) and marks it read on the way through
