About the notifications center in HoneyBook

Learn how to use HoneyBook's notifications center to manage what notifications you receive, view recent activity, and control your preferences — all in one place

Your notifications center is located under Bell icon Notifications center (bell icon) in the top-right corner of your HoneyBook account. It's a centralized hub for viewing recent activity — new inquiries, payments, and more — and managing your notification preferences, all from one place.

When a new notification comes in, the number badge on the bell icon updates to show how many unread notifications you have. From the notifications center, you can:

  • Mark all notifications as read at once

  • Mark an individual notification as read or unread

  • Toggle between viewing unread and all notifications

  • Select a notification to go directly to the related file, project, or activity

  • Scroll to the bottom and select Show more to view additional notifications

  • Select Filter icon Notification settings (filter icon) to customize the notification types you receive


Manage your notification preferences

Notification settings are personal — each user manages their own preferences independently. To access your notification settings:

  1. In the top-right corner of any page, select Bell icon Notifications center (bell icon) > Filter icon Notification settings (filter icon)

    • Alternatively from the navigation menu, select your company logo > My account > Notifications

  2. The page is organized as a grid: notification topics down the side, delivery channels across the top. Under “Notify Me About,” you'll see 3 notification columns:

    • In-app — Notifications that appear your Bell icon Notifications center (bell icon) and notification feed

    • Mobile push — Notifications sent to the HoneyBook mobile app

    • Email — Sent to your inbox

  3. Turning off a topic's toggle for a channel mutes all notifications within that topic for that channel at once

    • Select a topic (for example, Payments) to expand it and toggle its individual notification types — like Payment received or Bank transfer cleared — per channel independently

    • Select Advanced settings within an expanded topic for even more granular notification types

    • Some topics show "N/A" for a channel, meaning that notification is only available through the other channels

    • All changes save automatically

📣 Note

You can't adjust the frequency of notifications or which specific projects trigger them — these are universal settings that apply account-wide.

Always-on alerts

A small set of critical notifications can never be turned off:

  • Disputes

  • Tax information issues

  • Broken integrations (such as Gmail or Google Calendar disconnecting)

  • Security events

Everything else is yours to adjust as you see fit for your account.

Notification topics

  • Payments: When you get paid and payment activity on your projects

  • Payouts & finances: HoneyBook Capital offers, payouts, and financial account activity

  • Leads: New inquiries and lead activity

  • Files: Smart files, proposals, contracts, and signatures

  • Messages: Messages from your clients

  • Tasks: Task assignments, reminders, and due dates

  • Scheduling: Meetings booked, rescheduled, or canceled

  • HoneyBook AI: AI suggestions, recaps, and meeting notes

  • Referrals & network: Referrals, commissions, and network activity

  • Account & security: Critical account, security, and integration alerts

  • Automations: Automation runs, errors, and approvals

Mobile push notifications

If push notifications aren't enabled on your phone, or you haven't installed the HoneyBook mobile app, the “Mobile push” column shows a status indicator ("Push is off" or "Not installed") with steps to resolve it. You can still configure your mobile push preferences ahead of time — they'll take effect automatically once push is enabled on your device.
