Managing your WebSked user profile
Use the WebSked user profile page to set individual notifications (including task and story publish notifications, for example) and view your saved searches.
From the WebSked user profile, you can:
create custom notifications for events like story publishing, task creation, or platform pitches,
set your saved searches,
update your Slack username to receive notifications.
As a WebSked user, you want to personalize your notification and search settings to keep you focused.
You enter WebSked and navigate to your profile settings page by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner. From there, you access your WebSked user profile.
In the Notifications section, you create alerts for specific workflow events, such as when your story is published, a task you created gets claimed, or a task is created in one of your stories.
You can also access the Preferences section to add a saved search, which can help you optimize your time when searching for tasks that meet your criteria.
