Preferences and notifications
The Preferences page contains your personal Pyrus settings. To access the page, click on your initials or your profile photo in the left lower corner of the window, then click on Preferences.
Pyrus Tip: the language and notification in the Pyrus app are set in the settings of your smartphone.
Customizing your account’s appearance
On this page you can choose the UI language, your account's theme, the layout of your task list and files, and specify what notifications you want to receive.
On this page you can also specify who can find you by your username in Pyrus, as well as set up your work schedule. 
Notification settings
The Notifications section helps you manage your email and desktop notifications.
There are three kinds of email notifications: alerts to changes in your tasks, a morning summary of incoming tasks, and service newsletters. Email notifications ensure that you never miss important news or updates relevant to your Pyrus tasks.
Check the boxes next to the notifications you want to receive. 
Pyrus Tip: Let’s suppose there are several participants in your task, actively discussing it and adding new comments. To be in the loop with fewer emails in your inbox, check the box for Task updates every 15 minutes.
Morning summary of tasks
If Summary of my tasks every morning is enabled, Pyrus sends you a daily email titled “Daily digest for” followed by the current date, for example “Daily digest for Monday, 5 October”. From the summary, you can open any of the listed tasks or go straight to Pyrus.
When the email arrives
The summary arrives once a day at around 7:00 AM in your time zone, as detected by Pyrus from your device. It is sent every day, including weekends and holidays.
What the summary includes
The summary only lists open tasks that are in your Inbox that morning. The email has two sections:
- There are tasks waiting to be done: tasks due today. Tasks with a due time are grouped by start time, for example “10:00 AM – 11:00 AM”; tasks with a due date but no time are grouped under Due today. These tasks are included even if you have already read them.
- Unread in your inbox: tasks with changes you haven’t seen yet, such as a new comment, a mention, a change of assignee, an approval request, and so on.
A task is included if it meets at least one of these conditions. If a section is empty, it is left out of the email.
Tasks you postponed until today return to your Inbox by 7:00 AM and are included in the summary as well. Tasks you have already processed, postponed to a later date, or closed are not included.
During your first three weeks after signing up, the summary also contains a tip of the day about Pyrus features.
When you won't get the email
- Your Inbox has no tasks due today and no unread tasks.
- None of the tasks in the summary have changed over the past 24 hours. Pyrus doesn't send an email that would repeat yesterday's one: for example, if there are still unread tasks in your Inbox, but nothing has happened in them since the previous morning.
- You haven't signed in to Pyrus for 45 days. In this case, Summary of my tasks every morning is turned off automatically. To receive the summary again, re-enable it on the Preferences page.
- Your account is blocked or has no email address.
To unsubscribe from the summary, click Unsubscribe from daily digest at the bottom of the email or uncheck the box on the Preferences page.
Desktop notifications inform you about important Pyrus events when you are working in other applications. They pop up in the browser’s bottom right corner even when the Pyrus page is closed.
By clicking a notification, you go to the task page in Pyrus and can resume your work as usual. Notifications are available for the Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari web browsers.
To enable popup notifications check When any of my tasks change. 
As soon as Pyrus popups are activated, the browser will ask you to enable these notifications. The same dialog is displayed for users who access their Pyrus account for the first time or run a new browser.
