Desktop & App Notifications & Mentions

Nekst keeps you informed in real-time through notifications in the desktop app and on your phone. These are especially valuable for Team Pro accounts, where multiple people are working on the same transactions and need to stay in sync without checking the app constantly.

You can control which actions trigger a notification — and which ones also push to your phone as a Push Notification — separately, so your desktop bell can be busier than your phone.

What you can get notified about

Nekst has two tiers of notifications depending on your account type.

All users

Every Nekst user can receive these:

• Standard Task Reminder — when a 0–3 Day reminder is applied to a Standard Task, you get the reminder before it's due.
• Key Date Reminder — when a Key Date is due, you get a reminder.

Team Pro accounts

Team Pro users get the above plus notifications for activity across the team's transactions:

• A transaction's Status changes (Active, Closed, Archived)
• A transaction's Type changes (Listing, Pending Buyer, etc.)
• A Note is added on the transaction's Details page
• A Comment is posted on a task assigned to you
• A Key Date on your transaction is completed
• You're Mentioned in a Comment or Note

Where notifications appear

The bell icon in the top menu bar (and the top corner of the mobile app) shows a badge count for any un-viewed notifications.

Click any notification to jump straight to the transaction or task it references — no need to navigate around to find what triggered it.

Configuring what you receive

You control two things separately in your Settings:

• Which notifications appear in your bell-icon list (the desktop and mobile in-app feed)
• Which notifications also push to your phone as a Push Notification

This separation matters: for example, you can choose to see every team comment in your desktop bell, but only get a phone push for items directly assigned to you — keeping your phone quiet without losing visibility on the desktop.

@ Mentions

On a Team Pro account, you can direct a Comment or Note at one or more specific team members using @ mentions. This is the most reliable way to make sure important communication reaches the right person — they're notified both inside Nekst and via email.

Step 1. Type the @ symbol inside a Comment or Note. A list of Transaction Parties on that transaction appears.

Step 2. Pick the team member you want to mention, then finish your message.

Step 3. The recipient gets a notification in the bell-icon menu. Clicking it opens the task or note with the mention.

Step 4. The recipient also receives an email so nothing important slips through. The email includes a direct link back to the task or transaction where they were mentioned.
