## FAQ

### Why didn’t I get a notification for a task created via the API or another external source?

Attio only sends task notifications for tasks created inside the app. Tasks created externally, such as through the API or MCP, intentionally do not trigger notifications. This is designed to prevent unwanted notification spam in cases where large numbers of tasks are created automatically.

If having the option to enable notifications for externally created tasks would be helpful for your workflow, let us know at support@attio.com.
