📖Reference: Inbox

Introduction

Inbox is Motion’s centralized feed for product notifications. It aggregates task, project, notes, meeting insights, and team invite activity into one view with real-time updates, date filters, and quick actions that open the source item.

At a Glance

• Supported types → Inbox surfaces notifications from six categories: tasks, projects, notes, meeting insights, bookings, teams and AI Employee outputs.

• Behavior & rules → Notifications appear in reverse chronological order, update in real time, and support filters for unread and date groupings. Read/unread states sync across devices, and click-through opens the related item.

• Limitations → Inbox is optimized for immediate awareness, not long-term storage. Notifications auto-clean, cannot be pinned or searched, and only show activity from your current workspace.

Conclusion

Inbox centralizes all Motion notifications into a single, real-time feed. It supports six categories; tasks, projects, notes, meeting insights with consistent rules for read/unread states, filtering, and cleanup. While optimized for high volumes, Inbox is lightweight by design, focusing on immediate awareness and quick click-throughs rather than long-term storage.

Key Takeaway

Inbox is the live activity stream in Motion: fast, filtered, and actionable, but not intended as an archive.
