Review requests and submitted reviews send an email and an in-app notification; level changes and skill list changes are in-app only; rating yourself notifies nobody.
Skill reviews
When | Who's told | How | What it says |
Someone asks for a review | The reviewer | Email, in-app and an Inbox task | "Name requested a review for their skill skill." The email has a Give Review button. |
A reviewer submits their review | The person who asked | In-app and email | In-app: "Review for skill received from reviewer." Email: "Reviewer reviewed your skill: Level N." with a View Review button. |
A review changes one of your focus skills | You | In-app | "Your focus skill skill has been updated by reviewer." |
An admin or manager selects Request Self Review for you | You | "Please Complete Your Self-Review", with a Review Skill button. | |
A pending review request is cancelled | The person who asked | In-app | "Your skill review request for skill, assigned to reviewer, was cancelled because …" followed by the reason, for example "the skill was removed from your profile" or "the skill was removed from the workspace". The reviewer isn't told; the task leaves their Inbox. |
You rate yourself | Nobody | – | – |
Skill levels and skill lists
When | Who's told | How | What it says |
Your level reaches a skill's target | You | In-app | "You've reached the target level N for your skill skill." |
An admin or manager adds skills to your profile, or an admin removes you from a skill | You | In-app | "Your skill list has been updated by name." |
There's no notification when you reach level 5 (Expert), only when you reach a skill's target level.
Good to know
People with Read Only access can't be asked for reviews, so they never get review request emails or tasks.
