Stay in the loop without the noise. The Notifications Center shows your board updates in real time (mentions, assignments, status changes), while Board Email Alerts send instant, daily, or weekly summaries to your inbox. Example: get pinged when you’re mentioned on a task, then receive a Monday morning recap of everything that moved last week.
