Subscribe/Unsubscribe to Board and Lane Events

In order to stay on top of all the activities surrounding your projects, AgilePlace allows you to subscribe to events that occur within your AgilePlace board. By subscribing, you can receive notifications by email or RSS feed when events happen on a board or within a particular lane.

Events that will trigger notifications include:

  • cards being created
  • cards being moved
  • cards being assigned to a user
  • cards being archived.

Subscribing to an entire board allows you to receive notification of all events occurring within the board. This is important if you are managing a process or project and need to know about all activities.

Subscribing to a particular lane within a board may make more sense if you are only interested in one or two steps within the process. For example, a product tester may only want/need to be notified when cards enter or are processed through the lanes designated for testing activities.

With an email subscription, any subscribed event will generate an email to your registered email address, which will include descriptive information about the event.  If the event is related to a card, the email will also contain a link allowing you to navigate directly to the full card information (you may have to login).

You can also receive notifications through RSS feeds to your favorite RSS reader software.  A unique RSS URL will point you to your personalized feed.  Provide this URL to your RSS reader to receive the event notifications there.

           

NOTE

Note: The URL provided to you is personalized and should not be distributed to others.
