Settings
All SyncUp configuration lives in the Settings tab, which sits at the right end of the tab bar. The tab has a sidebar with four sections; some are admin-only.
👤 Your Role
Section titled “👤 Your Role”Shows the role currently assigned to you (Developer, Scrum Master, or Product Owner) and how that maps to your Daily Brief.
- Non-admins see their role as read-only and a note to contact a project admin to change it.
- Admins see a hint pointing them to Team Roles for managing assignments.
👥 Team Roles (admin only)
Section titled “👥 Team Roles (admin only)”This is where role assignments are made. SyncUp does not auto-infer roles from Jira project roles — every assignment is explicit.
- SyncUp lists all members of the active sprint.
- For each member, pick one of:
- Developer (default)
- Scrum Master
- Product Owner
- Click Save Roles.
A member’s role is shared across the entire project, not per sprint. Changing a role takes effect on the next Daily Brief load.
⚙️ Preferences (per-user)
Section titled “⚙️ Preferences (per-user)”The only personal setting today is Alert Sensitivity, which controls how many alerts your UI shows.
| Level | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Low | Critical alerts only (HIGH severity, narrowed). |
| Medium (default) | Important alerts (HIGH + most MEDIUM). |
| High | All alerts — including LOW (milestones, etc.). |
This is purely a display filter — alerts are still stored at full fidelity in Forge SQL. You can change it any time.
🔔 Notifications (admin only)
Section titled “🔔 Notifications (admin only)”Configures the optional daily email briefing.
Toggle
Section titled “Toggle”- Daily Briefing (on / off) — master switch.
Schedule
Section titled “Schedule”- Standup Hour — choose between 07:00 and 14:00 (one hour buckets).
- Timezone — UTC, Europe/Istanbul, Europe/Berlin, Europe/London, US/Eastern, US/Pacific, Asia/Kolkata, Asia/Tokyo.
The hourly cron trigger fires each hour; when the current hour matches your standup hour in the chosen timezone, the email is sent to all sprint assignees.
Channel
Section titled “Channel”- Jira Email Notifications (on / off). The delivery mechanism uses an internal “anchor” issue created by SyncUp and watched by sprint assignees — Jira’s notification system handles the actual email. This is what the
write:jira-workscope is used for (and only this).
Buttons
Section titled “Buttons”- Save Notification Settings — persists your changes.
- 📧 Send Daily Brief — sends an immediate one-off email of the current daily brief. Useful for testing the channel.
- 🏁 Sprint Report — sends an email of the most recent closed sprint’s autopsy. Also a one-off, on-demand send.
A success / failure message appears below the buttons for ~5–8 seconds after each action.
What’s stored where
Section titled “What’s stored where”Settings persist to Forge SQL in your tenant:
| Setting | Table |
|---|---|
| Your assigned role | team_roles |
| Alert sensitivity | user_preferences |
| Notification config | notification_settings |
Nothing is sent to external services. See security for details.
What’s not yet configurable
Section titled “What’s not yet configurable”These are sensible roadmap items that aren’t in the current build:
- Per-project stale threshold (currently fixed at 5 days for Decisions Needed; 3 days for in-progress yellow→red)
- Excluded issue types (everything in the sprint counts today)
- Estimation field (velocity is tracked in issue counts)
syncup-ignorelabel opt-out- Snooze action on alerts (only Dismiss exists)
