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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Columns are the view’s, not yours. Toggling a column in list mode saves onto the view, so the whole team sees the change.
- 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.
- 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.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.
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
Can a view show something other than campaigns?
Can a view show something other than campaigns?
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.
Why can I not see the team a colleague mentioned?
Why can I not see the team a colleague mentioned?
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.
I changed a view's filter. What happens to my teammates?
I changed a view's filter. What happens to my teammates?
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.
Do view notifications reach me by email?
Do view notifications reach me by email?
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.
Two of my views overlap. Will I be notified twice?
Two of my views overlap. Will I be notified twice?
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.
Does a view slow down as we accumulate campaigns?
Does a view slow down as we accumulate campaigns?
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.
