One tap to act: Inline quick-actions in the Notifications Panel
One tap to act: Inline quick-actions in the Notifications Panel
Release v0.1.215
Time matters at the end of a tenancy. A deposit that isn't protected on time, a tenant's reply left unread for 48 hours, a signature request that stalls a move-out — every hour of delay adds friction and compliance risk.
Today we're shipping a small change with a big impact on how quickly you can act on what matters most.
The problem: too many taps to act
Until now, seeing a notification like "Deposit protection overdue" in the slide-over panel and actually doing something about it required around five steps:
- Open the notifications panel
- Click the notification
- Wait for the linked page to load
- Take the action
- Navigate back
For a user managing multiple tenancies across a busy end-of-month, that friction adds up — and for compliance-critical events, it increases the risk of something slipping through.
The fix: action buttons, right where you are
Starting in v0.1.215, the most actionable notification types now show inline quick-action buttons directly on the notification row — no navigation required.
See a Deposit protection overdue notice? Hit Protect deposit now without leaving the panel. Tenant replied to your deduction proposal? Open negotiation thread takes you straight there in one tap. Need a moment before responding to a signature request? Snooze 24h and it comes back tomorrow.
What's available out of the box
| Notification | Quick actions |
|---|---|
| Deposit protection overdue | Protect deposit now · Dismiss |
| Tenant responded to deduction proposal | Open negotiation thread · Dismiss |
| Compliance check failed | View tenancy · Dismiss |
| Signature requested | View tenancy · Snooze 24h |
Every notification also supports a universal View action that takes you to the linked page, as well as Dismiss to clear it and Snooze 24h to resurface it later.
Designed for speed, not noise
The buttons are rendered as small, unobtrusive pills beneath the notification body — visible at a glance, out of the way if you don't need them. We cap each row at two actions to keep the panel scannable.
This follows the same pattern used in tools like Gmail and Linear, where notifications double as lightweight task surfaces rather than just links to somewhere else.
Under the hood
If you're building on top of the notifications system, the schema now accepts an optional actions array per notification. Existing notifications without that field are unaffected. See the Notifications Panel feature docs for the full schema reference.
Small change. Fewer taps. Faster outcomes — for landlords, agents, and tenants alike.
