Notifications and tasks: What's the difference?

Here we explain why we split out notifications and tasks

We understand that notifications can sometimes come across as an unnecessary distraction to your work. We've redesigned notifications in frankli to look at what is something I should informed about vs. need to do something about.

Here we outline what's the difference between a ‘Notification’ and a ‘Task'. in frankli

Notifications

Anything that involves an inform to the person without a following action in Frankli will be classified as a notification. These will include.

  • New joiner, work anniversary & birthday notifications

  • Praise, feedback you or a direct report has received

  • Added to a Goal as a Goal Owner

  • Comments or updates to a goal you are a goal owner of

Tasks

Unlike general notifications, tasks in frankli must be actioned by the person for them to disappear. Here's some examples:

  • Invited to complete a Survey

  • Goal due deadlines

  • Peer Feedback requests

We hope this clarifies the two views and why we've gone about it this way.
