Open the inbox
Notifications is your inbox. Open it with the bell at the bottom of the sidebar, above your avatar, or at app.orbitalaip.com/notifications. There is no separate Alerts page: the /alerts address opens Notifications.
The inbox is yours alone. It holds notifications from every project in the current workspace.
Read the list
Four tabs filter the inbox: All, Unread, Archived and Deleted.
Click a row to read it in the reading pane; a Trade notice opens Trade instead. Clicking a row, or moving onto it with the arrow keys, marks it read. While anything is unread, the header also shows a Mark all as read icon.
The Filters icon narrows the list by symbol, severity and tag. The filters search what has loaded, so scroll to search further back.
The reading pane
Message holds the full text, and Source names the alert, workflow and project it came from, where each is known.
An agent-led alert adds Why (agent reasoning), Confidence and an expandable Raw verdict, if it fired in the project you have open. A threshold alert adds Condition, with the rule and the actual value.
When a notification was also sent to a destination, Delivery lists each one with its status, pending, sent, failed or skipped, and any error. skipped means nothing was sent and it will not be retried, because the destination was turned off or deleted, or its provider is not set up.
The button at the top of the pane goes to the source. A fired alert shows Open run, which opens its workflow on that run, and a Trade notice shows Open in Trade. The billing notice has no button. Everything else shows Open, which goes to the workflow, the backtest's result or the agent.
Archive, delete and restore
Select rows
Hover a row and tick the box that replaces its dot.
Pick an action
In All and Unread, the bar that replaces the tabs offers Mark as read, Archive and Delete. In Archived it offers Move to inbox and Delete. In Deleted it offers Restore and Delete permanently.
Undo if you need to
Archive and Delete each show a message with Undo.
Deleted notifications stay under Deleted for 30 days. You restore them from that tab, not from Trash in Settings. Delete permanently asks Delete permanently? first, also removes the delivery records, and cannot be undone.
What each category holds
Every notification files under one of five categories, which are also the rows of your delivery settings.
| Category | What lands there |
|---|---|
| Alerts | An Alert node fired, in a workflow or an agent's run. |
| Automations | A scheduled automation stopped and will not restart, or an automation waits for your approval. Held trades, unanswered exits, deployments that paused themselves and agent approval requests file here too. |
| Workflow runs | A workflow run failed, or a backtest finished, was cancelled or failed. |
| Agent runs | An agent run failed, or an agent's task finished, got stuck, used its budget or paused. |
| Billing | Auto-reload stopped buying credits at the workspace's monthly ceiling. |
Each notification goes to one person, such as whoever started the run, deployed the strategy or created the agent. The billing notice goes to the workspace owner.
Trade approvals
A held trade sends Approval needed: or Approval needed to exit: to whoever deployed it, and the row opens Trade on Activity, where you answer. Exit placed for you, Your exit could NOT be placed and Deployment paused: notices open Trade the same way. See Where approvals arrive.
Agent approval requests
When an agent asks for approval outside a person's own conversation with it, its creator gets Approval needed: and the card's title, with an Answer by time in UTC; Open goes to the agent. See Permissions and approvals.
Where notifications are delivered
The settings card Where notifications reach you reads Your inbox always gets everything. These add a channel on top.
Open the settings
Click your avatar and choose Notifications under Account, or go to app.orbitalaip.com/settings/notifications.
Find the category's row
Its picker already shows In-app, which is always selected and cannot be removed.
Add a destination
Choose one of your destinations in the picker. The change saves at once. If it fails, Routing not saved appears and your previous routing stays in effect.
Routing is yours alone, and each workspace keeps its own. An Alert node can also name destinations of its own, added on top of your routing. See Where an alert goes.
Your destinations
Where we can reach you lists your destinations. A shared badge marks one the whole workspace uses; only workspace owners and admins can change it.
Orbital creates My account email for you, sending to your account's address. It starts out waiting 5 minutes to combine messages, and sends at most 12 an hour. A Telegram destination, if your account has one, is listed too. To message Orbital from your own Telegram destination, see Chat from your phone. You cannot add a new destination from this page.
Test sends a test message and reports Test message sent, Skipped or Test failed. Edit lets you rename a destination, change its address and set its Pacing:
- When several arrive together: Send immediately, or a wait from Wait 30 seconds and combine to Wait 1 hour and combine.
- Most messages per hour: blank means no limit. Over the limit, messages are held and combined into the next one. Nothing is dropped.
A combined message is titled with the count and any critical ones, such as "3 new alerts · 1 critical".
To remove a destination:
Open its edit pane
Click Edit on its row.
Delete it
Under Delete this channel, press Delete, then Delete channel.
Delivery stops at once. The destination moves to Trash and is deleted permanently after 30 days.
