Section: Features

A notification is an alert on a bid that someone should act on: an addendum came in, the bid date moved, the bid is overdue. It stays open until someone resolves it.

## Types

Revised plans, Addendum, Bid date change, Scope change, Site walk, Award notification, Cancellation, Update, Overdue and Task. Each has an urgency: critical, high, medium or low.

## Where they show

- A small pill with a bell beside the project name on the board, the Hub and the calendar. Click it to see every open alert for that bid.
- The **Notifications** card on the bid's Overview.
- The **Notifications** list on your [Hub](https://automatedconstruction.io/tidy/docs/features/hub), most urgent first.
- The weekly unresolved bids email, if your admin turned it on.

## Where they come from

| Source | Example |
| --- | --- |
| Client emails | A reply on the bid's thread that looks like an addendum or a date change |
| Your team | Click **Add** on the bid's Notifications card to flag something |
| Overdue bids | Every hour, Tidy flags any Undecided, Accepted or Needs Revision bid whose due date has passed |
| Overdue tasks | Your own task passed its due date. Only you see it. |

An overdue notice resolves itself once the bid is submitted, declined, closed or given a new date, and Tidy leaves a comment saying why.

## Resolve or hand off

- **Resolve** marks it handled.
- **Send to agent** opens a new Agent chat with the alert filled in. Review it and send.

## Emails Tidy sends you

- **Assignment**: when someone makes you the lead on a bid or adds you to its team. Assigning yourself sends nothing.
- **Weekly reports**, if your admin adds you. See [Weekly reports](https://automatedconstruction.io/tidy/docs/features/reports).
- **Publish requests** to admins, when a member asks to share a record.

Overdue bids and tasks are shown in Tidy only. They do not send email.

## Not available yet

There are no notification settings to mute types or choose email or push, no reminder before a due date, and no calendar sync with Google or Outlook.

## What the agent can do

The agent can list unresolved notifications, add one to a bid and resolve them.

> [!agent]
> Tools: `list_unresolved_notifications`, `bid_notifications_create`, `bid_notifications_resolve`. Notifications carry `NTF-` tokens for agent use.
