See a notification when a chat finishes or billing needs you
Chief now tells you when a background chat is done and alerts org admins about payment failures, plan changes, and credit usage, both in the app and by email.
You start a long chat, switch to another tab, and then have to keep checking back to see whether the answer landed. Billing surprises worked the same way: a failed payment or a plan change only turned up when you went looking.
Notification bell and panel
A bell in the top bar carries an unread count. Open it to see finished and failed chats, billing alerts, and the chats still running right now, with a toast when something completes while you are on another page. Mark everything read from the panel, delete a single item, or open the full list at /notifications.
Click any chat notification to jump straight to the answer.
Billing alerts for owners
Org owners and admins get alerted on payment failures, cancellations, downgrades, expirations, and trials about to end. Alerts arrive in the app and by email, and a repeated payment event will not send you the same alert twice.
Credit usage alerts you set
In organization billing settings you choose the credit usage percentages that trigger an alert. Chief starts you at 80% and 100%, and you can add any whole percentage from 1 to 100 or remove the ones you do not want.
The percentage matches what the billing page shows: this month's usage against your remaining balance. Older grants you burned through months ago no longer keep you pinned above a threshold. If a credit purchase drops you back under a threshold, crossing it again alerts you again.
Billing contacts
Add people who should also receive your organization's billing notifications. Pick org members from a searchable list, or type any email address to add someone outside the org.
Quieter live sessions
Chief live sessions used to fire a running chat and a completion notification for turns you never asked for, filling the panel with chats that held nothing to open. Those turns no longer notify you at all.
Open the bell to see what is waiting, then head to organization billing settings to set your credit thresholds and billing contacts.
