# In app Notifications

## Overview

In app is the primary delivery method for all Hippoly notifications. [Push](/using-hippoly/notifications/push-notifications.md) and [Mail](/using-hippoly/notifications/mail-notifications.md) notifications extend In app notifications when you are on the go or not logged in to Hippoly. You can opt out from Push and Mail notifications, but you can't opt out from In app notifications.  

## Notification indicators

When you are using Hippoly there are a couple of different ways new and unread notifications can be indicated for you.

### Notification inbox launcher   

The notification inbox launcher will indicate with a red bubble and/or a filled bell icon as soon as you have any unread or new notifications.

* **Red bubble and number** means you have at least one unhandled high priority notification
* **Red bubble** means you only have unread normal notifications.
* **Filled bell icon** means there are new notifications since you last viewed the inbox.

### Team members list

If you receive a new direct message from a team member or group within the workspace you currently in, a red bubble with a number will appear on the person or the group in the team member list.&#x20;

### Workspace selector panel

If you are a member of multiple Hippoly workspaces and if you have unread posts in other workspaces than the workspace you currently in, a red bubble will appear on the workspace selector launcher located at the top left corner of the screen.

If you open the workspace selector a red bubble will also appear on workspaces that have unread posts. Clicking a `Workspace` in the list will navigate you to the posts feed and automatically set the notifications to read.&#x20;
