NotifyButton

The NotifyButton lets users turn notifications about resource updates on or off. Common use cases include notifications about updates to saved filters, workflows, or entities. Users will be notified via e-mail.

When to use

  • To let users choose to be notified about changes to a resource, such as a saved filter, workflow, or entity.

When not to use

  • For actions that aren't related to notifications. Use Button instead.

Position

Ensure the NotifyButton is close to the element or resource to which it refers, so users understand what the notification is about.

Variants

NotifyButton comes in two variants: 'default' and 'emphasized'.

Sizes

NotifyButton comes in two sizes: 'default' and 'condensed'.

Default

Use the default size in most cases.

Condensed

Use the condensed size in compact layouts, when there isn't enough space for the default-sized button, or when it's placed next to other condensed buttons.

Icon only

If space is limited, the NotifyButton can be displayed with just an icon. The icon reflects the current state (on or off), so users can tell at a glance whether notifications are on without having to interact with the button.

Customizable content

If you customize the content of the overlay, make sure to communicate the notification status to users (on or off) and describe the topic of the notifications.
