Teams and views

Notifizz puts Marketing, Dev and Product on the same platform. That only works if each of them can find their own work in a dashboard that holds everyone’s. Teams and views are how the sidebar is carved up.
Written for everyone, run by Product/Ops. Whoever owns the campaign process usually sets the teams and views up once; Marketing and Dev then live inside them.

TL;DR

  • A team is a named group of people in your organisation. It owns views, and it appears in the sidebar with its own icon.
  • A view is a saved, filtered lens on your campaigns. It belongs to a team, and every member of that team opens the same one.
  • Views are shared; subscribing to a view is personal — that is what decides who gets notified when a campaign enters or leaves it.
  • You only see the teams you are a member of. Views inherit that: no team, no views.
  • Teams and views change what you see first, never what you are allowed to do. They are not permissions.
  • Views filter campaigns only today — no other object type.

What a team holds

Anyone in an active organisation can create a team, from the + beside the sidebar’s Teams heading — or from the Create a team card shown while you have none. The creator becomes its first member. Renaming, re-iconing and deleting live in Team settings, on the team row’s menu.
Membership is not yet self-serve. The dashboard creates a team with its author as the sole member; there is no roster screen in Team settings today. Plan your teams accordingly — a team nobody else belongs to is a private workspace, not a shared one.

What a view holds

A view is a filter with a name on it. It is defined by up to four dimensions, all of them campaign properties: The rules are the ones you would guess: several values inside one dimension are an OR, several dimensions are an AND, and a dimension you leave empty adds no constraint. A view with no filter at all is legal — it lists every campaign, which is a perfectly good team home page. Each view also carries an icon and its own visible columns: Status, User flow, AARRR, Event, Sent, CTR. The campaign name is always shown. You create one from the + on a team’s row. It starts unfiltered and opens immediately, so the order of operations is: create, then name it and pick its criteria on the page itself.

What opening a view actually does

  1. The view’s filter is applied invisibly. You do not see its criteria as chips — the list simply starts as the subset the view describes. Hovering the view in the sidebar for a moment pops a preview card with those criteria spelled out.
  2. You can refine on top. The filter bar on the view page adds constraints for your session only; they travel in the URL, so the refined list is a link you can paste to a colleague. Refinement narrows — asking for a status the view excludes gives you an empty table, not a wider one.
  3. List or board. The same toggle as the campaigns list: a table, or a kanban whose columns are the statuses actually present. The choice is yours alone, remembered per organisation and followed across your devices.
  4. Columns are the view’s, not yours. Toggling a column in list mode saves onto the view, so the whole team sees the change.
  5. Opening a campaign keeps you in the view. The campaign panel opens over the list, the activity log is one click further, and closing brings you back to the view — not to the global campaigns list.
  6. A campaign that stops matching leaves the table. Change a status from inside the panel and the row disappears as soon as it falls out of the view’s filter.
Archived campaigns are excluded by default, whatever the view’s filter says. A view built on Archived looks empty until you switch Include archived on in the filter menu.
Editing the view itself — name, icon, criteria — is a click on its title. Saving clears your session refinements, so the table you are left looking at is the new baseline rather than a mix of old and new.

Following a view

A view has a subscribe control in its header, showing everyone currently following it. The person who creates a view is subscribed automatically; everyone else opts in. Subscribers are notified in Notifizz when a campaign enters or leaves the view: These are transitions, not edits. Renaming a campaign that already matched notifies nobody. Promoting one from Review to Live, on the other hand, may fire an exit on one view and an entry on another — which is precisely the handover signal the pair of views exists to produce. Two cascades are worth knowing: removing someone from a team unsubscribes them from that team’s views, and deleting a view or a team deletes the subscriptions with it.

How three roles share one sidebar

The pattern that works is one team per role, and one view per waiting state — a view should answer what is on my plate right now, not everything my team has ever shipped. Marketing subscribes to Waiting for approval; Dev subscribes to Needs implementation. When Marketing promotes a campaign, it lands in Dev’s view, and Dev is told — no ticket, no mention, no standing meeting. That is the collaboration why the whole team argues for, made concrete.
A view is not access control. It hides nothing: any campaign a view filters out is still reachable from the campaigns list, and any member of your organisation can open it. Teams and views organise attention; they do not restrict it.

Housekeeping

  • Reorder teams and views by dragging their rows. Dropping a view onto another team moves it there.
  • Which teams are expanded is remembered per organisation and follows you across devices.
  • Deleting a view removes it and its subscriptions. Deleting a team removes every view it owns, and theirs. Neither is reversible.

FAQ

Not today. The filter is defined against campaigns, and campaigns are the only object type a view resolves. The four dimensions above are the whole vocabulary.
Because you are not one of its members — the sidebar lists only the teams you belong to, and a team’s views are only reachable through it. Since membership is fixed at creation today, the practical answer is to have the team re-created with the right people, or to keep shared work in a team everyone was in from the start.
They see the new filter the next time they open it — a view is one shared object, not a copy per person. What is not shared is the refinement you add from the filter bar during a session: that lives in your URL and disappears when you leave.
They arrive in Notifizz itself, on the notification bell in the dashboard. A view is a working signal for people already in the product, not a mailing.
Yes — once per view you subscribe to, because each one is a separate entry. Overlapping views are useful (a campaign can be both in review and retention), but subscribe deliberately.
No. The view resolves its filter when you open it; there is no stored list to keep in sync, and nothing is duplicated per view. That is also why a view always reflects the current state of a campaign rather than a snapshot.
