Pumble in October: Always Allow Notifications, Request App Approval & Custom Default Statuses

Updates Featured Image

This October, Pumble rolled out some new features to make your workday easier and more productive.

Let's dive in and see what's new!

Always allow notifications

Up until now, when you paused notifications in Pumble, you wouldn't receive any notifications from channels or team members. With the new Always allow notifications option, you can now allow notifications from select channels or team members even when general notifications are paused.

This ensures that you never miss important updates or urgent issues that need your attention.

Request app approval

Previously, only Owners and Admins of Pumble workspaces could install apps. All other team members had to reach out to them to ask for an app installation. Now, members can request app approval and submit installation requests to Owners and Admins for review.

Owners and Admins get the requests directly in Pumble, and can deny or approve them without leaving the app. Members are also notified when there's been a change to their request.

Requesting app approval also works for members creating a private app from scratch. With it, users can skip unnecessary back-and-forth and use a structured process to request useful integrations with all necessary information listed directly in the request.

Custom default statuses

Pumble workspace admins and owners can now customize the suggested statuses members see when setting their status. This replaces the default generic options with meaningful statuses that reflect how your team actually works.

A curated list of statuses relevant to your team's workflows encourages members to set their status more often and keeps status information across the workspace more consistent and useful. This helps teammates understand each others availability and know when to expect a response.

Some examples of work-specific statuses are:

  • In a meeting
  • Deep work - slow replies
  • WFH

Status suggestions come with custom workspace emojis so admins and owners can use branded or team-specific icons.

Additionally, users are still able to type a fully custom status if none of the suggestions fit their situation.
