Notifications Center
Stay on top of what matters in your supply chain without manually checking each module. TradeAware's Notification Center collects all key events in one place and lets you act on them directly.
Accessing the Notification Center
The notification bell icon is always visible in the top-right header, regardless of which workspace or module you are in. A blue dot on the bell indicates you have unread notifications.
Click the bell to open the Notification panel.
Notification types
TradeAware notifies users of the following events. Each notification includes a Go to button that takes you directly to the relevant view.
Invitations
TradeAware notifies both buyers and suppliers at each stage of the connection flow.
Supplier receives an invitation (supplier-facing)
When a buyer invites you to connect, you see a notification pinned at the top of your panel:
[Buyer Name] invited you to connect Accept to start sharing data and working together
This notification stays pinned until you respond. It cannot be manually dismissed. See Pending invitations below for details.
Connection established (buyer-facing)
When a supplier accepts your invitation:
Connection established with [Supplier Name] You can now share data and work together
Supplier accepts an invitation (supplier-facing)
After you accept an invitation, you see a confirmation in your panel:
You accepted the invitation from [Buyer Name]
Supplier declines an invitation (supplier-facing)
After you decline an invitation, you see a confirmation in your panel:
You declined the invitation from [Buyer Name]
Plot uploads (buyer-facing)
When a connected supplier uploads plots, you are notified. Multiple uploads within the same time window are grouped into a single notification.
One plot uploaded
[Supplier Name] has uploaded 1 plot
Multiple plots uploaded
[Supplier Name] has uploaded [N] plots
View the new plots uploaded
Clicking Go to opens your Plots view filtered to the newly uploaded plots from that supplier.
Open source deforestation screening (buyer-facing)
When open-source analysis detects deforestation risk on a supplier's plots, you are notified.
One plot flagged
1 plot flagged for deforestation risk for [Supplier Name].
Multiple plots flagged
[N] plots flagged for deforestation risk for [Supplier Name].
View affected plots
Clicking Go to opens the plots filtered to those with detected risk for that supplier.
Precision Analytics (buyer-facing)
When Precision Analytics completes for a supplier's plots, you are notified. The notification indicates whether deforestation risk was detected.
Analysis completed, risk detected
TradeAware Precision completed successfully for [Supplier Name].
Analysis completed, no risk found
TradeAware Precision completed successfully - no deforestation risks detected for [Supplier Name].
View analysed plots
Clicking Go to opens the Precision results for that supplier.
Questionnaire submitted (buyer-facing)
When a supplier submits a questionnaire, you are notified immediately.
Questionnaire submitted
[Supplier Name] has submitted their questionnaire
Questionnaire submitted for a specific country
[Supplier Name] has submitted their questionnaire for [Country Name]
Clicking Go to opens the questionnaire submission directly.
Risk assessment updated (buyer/team-facing)
When a supplier's risk assessment status is updated, all team members are notified.
Updated by a team member
[User Name] updated risk assessment for supplier [Supplier Name] to [Status]
Clicking Go to opens the supplier detail view.
Pending invitations
If you have received one or more buyer invitations that you have not yet responded to, a summary notification is pinned at the top of your panel. It cannot be manually dismissed and does not have a Mark as read option.
[Buyer Name] invited you to connect Accept to start sharing data and working together
The notification disappears automatically once you have accepted or declined the invitation.
Managing notifications
Acting on a notification
Each notification has a Go to button. Clicking it closes the panel and navigates you directly to the relevant view — for example, the specific plots, questionnaire, or supplier that triggered the event.
Marking notifications as read
Mark a single notification as read — hover over a notification card and click Mark as read.
Mark all as read — click Mark all as read at the top of the panel to clear all unread notifications at once.
Read status is saved permanently. If you close and reopen the panel, previously read notifications remain marked as read.
Grouping
Notifications are grouped to reduce noise. Multiple events of the same type from the same supplier are combined into a single card rather than shown as separate entries. The card updates dynamically as new events come in before you open the panel.
Notes
You will not receive a notification for actions you perform yourself — for example, uploading your own plots does not generate a notification for your own account.
Pending invitation notifications do not have a Mark as read option — they resolve automatically when accepted or declined.
