| 3 | description: What needs you, and what you follow, as it happens. An agent waiting on you comes first; failures, merges, mentions and comments follow. Mark items read or done, save them, or snooze them. |

| 6 | Your **inbox** tells you when something needs you, or when something |
| 7 | happens to work you answer for: an agent is waiting on you, checks failed |
| 8 | on your pull request, g1t finished a change you asked for, someone mentioned |
| 9 | you. You are never told about what you did yourself. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Open it from the bell in the top bar. The number on the bell is what is |
| 12 | unread. It is amber while an agent is waiting on you, red while a failure is |
| 13 | unread, and green otherwise. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## What lands there |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Each item comes from something that happened on g1t. Who is told depends on |
| 18 | what it was: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | | What happened | Who is told | Shown as | |
| 21 | | --- | --- | --- | |
| 22 | | Another agent asked a question of the agent on a pull request, or handed it work | The person the pull request belongs to, and the issue's author and assignees | Needs you | |
| 23 | | Checks failed, or could not run, on a pull request | The person the pull request belongs to | Error | |
| 24 | | A workflow failed on a pull request | The person the pull request belongs to | Error | |
| 25 | | A workflow failed on a branch | Whoever pushed the commit it ran on | Error | |
| 26 | | g1t finished a change and marked it ready for review | The person who asked g1t for it | Success | |
| 27 | | g1t reviewed a pull request | The person the pull request belongs to | Success when approved, Info when it asks for changes | |
| 28 | | A pull request was merged | The person the pull request belongs to | Success | |
| 29 | | Someone mentioned you with `@username` in a comment | You | Info | |
| 30 | | Someone commented on an issue or pull request you opened | You | Info, or Success for an approval | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | "The person a pull request belongs to" is its author, or, for a change g1t |
| 33 | made, the person who asked for it. g1t itself is never told. A mention in |
| 34 | code or in a quoted line does not count. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | You only see items about repositories you can read. If you lose access to a |
| 37 | repository, its items leave your inbox the next time you open it. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ## Tabs |
| 40 | |

| 71 | [g1t.sh/inbox](https://g1t.sh/inbox). It has the same tabs, every item a page |
| 72 | at a time, and two more views: |
| 73 | |

| 76 | | **Saved** | Items you saved, done or not | |
| 77 | | **Done** | Items you marked done. Select ↶ on one to move it back | |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Mission control shows a **Needs you** card with the newest unread items an |
| 80 | agent is waiting on, then failures. It is hidden when there are none. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ## How long items are kept |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Items you mark done are removed after 30 days. Any item is removed after 180 |
| 85 | days. Saved items are kept until you unsave them. |
