# Group notification settings

## **Customizable Notifications**

* Glue allows you to control which conversations you want to be notified about in your Threads Inbox.
* Decide whether to follow every thread in a group or only Important ones.

#### 📌 A thread is considered Important (to show up in your Threads Inbox) when:

* You are @mentioned.
* You reply to the thread.
* You choose to follow the thread.

{% hint style="info" %}
When joining a new group, the **default is to follow Important threads only** for that group. You can change this setting to follow every thread at any time.
{% endhint %}

## **Managing Group notification settings**

* **Click the 🔔 icon** at the top right of the group header to adjust your notification settings for that group.
* To follow all threads from a group, change your setting to **Everything** in your Inbox. This setting is typically used for groups you are very active in.
* **Note:** You cannot change the notification settings for your company’s General group

{% hint style="info" %}
If you follow only Important threads from a Group, you will still see all new threads in your Feed and Activity tab, and in the Group view. You just won't follow all threads in your Thread Inbox.
{% endhint %}

### **Managing notifications for individual Threads in a Group**

* **Following a thread** means it will appear in your Inbox and notify you of new messages.
* You can override your group settings by following or unfollowing individual thread notifications.
  * Click the bell 🔔 icon on an open thread, or from your Inbox when you hover over the thread name to **Follow** or **Unfollow**

{% endhint %}
