Receive notifications on Pumble #

With the Pumble and Google Drive integration, you will automatically get notifications for comments on your documents. Pumble will send notifications for the following types of comments:

• Regular comments
• Comments that mention the user
• Replies to your comments

You can reply to Google Drive comments by writing in the thread of a Pumble message. These replies can later be edited directly in Pumble, and they will sync with your Google Drive.

Pumble can also send notifications for other user’s documents, but only if you are mentioned or assigned in the comment. Moreover, you will receive notifications when a document is shared with you, or someone requests access to your document.
