Notification types
Odin generates notifications for the following events: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.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.
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; they’re covered by the weekly summary post 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, sending Finding assigned posts to a separate channel from new findings and status changes.Filtering
Use the tabs at the top to switch between All notifications and Unread only. The unread tab shows a count so you can see how many items need attention.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, 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, Mjolnir run, or asset) and marks it read on the way through
