Stay informed about what matters
My Family Hub sends notifications for different types of activity. Understanding what each one means helps you decide which ones you want to be alerted about and which you can check later on your own time.
Chore notifications
Chore assigned – A new chore has been assigned to someone (usually parents see when kids get tasks)
Chore due – A reminder that a chore is due soon (usually 24 hours before)
Chore overdue – A chore hasn't been completed by its due date
Chore completed – Someone marked a chore complete and it's awaiting approval
Chore approved – A parent has approved a chore and points have been awarded
Event notifications
Event reminder – A reminder for an upcoming family event (timing depends on what you set)
Event updated – An event's details have changed (time, location, attendees)
Event cancelled – An event has been cancelled
Reward notifications
Points earned – Family member earned points for completing a chore
Badge earned – Someone reached a milestone and earned a badge
Reward redeemed – Someone used their points to claim a reward
Points milestone – Someone reached a significant points total (e.g., 1000 points)

Customizing by notification type
Most families disable notifications for "Chore completed" (parents approve them anyway) but keep "Chore overdue" turned on. You might turn on "Points earned" to celebrate wins but turn off "Event updated" if changes happen often. Experiment to find what works for your family!
