Notifications center
Required user role: All users, based on your role and permissions (e.g., users with bill permissions will get bill notifications). For more, go to User roles.
Overview
The notifications panel centralizes all your Tipalti Hub notifications in one place, so you never miss a pending action, mention, or update. Instead of switching between screens to track what needs your attention, everything is surfaced in a single panel, grouped by recency and linked directly to the relevant item. You can also control which notifications you receive from your profile settings.
When new notifications arrive, a red numeric indication appears on the bell icon in the top navigation bar, so you always know when something needs your attention.
Notifications are grouped by recency (starting with Today) and display with a blue dot to indicate unread items. Each notification links directly to the relevant item, so you can click it and take action without searching for items.
View and manage notifications
To open the notifications panel, click the bell icon in the top navigation bar.
The panel displays all your Tipalti Hub notifications in one centralized view. You can click:

- Mark all as read to clear all unread indicators at once.
