Activity feed FAQ

Common questions about the Activity feed in Missive.

Where did the Activity room go?

The Activity room has been replaced by the Activity feed. Instead of a conversation pinned in your sidebar, it's now a dedicated panel you open by clicking the bell icon at the top of the sidebar. Mentions, reactions, and calendar reminders all appear there.

Why does my app badge count go up when I have no unread emails?

The Activity feed may be the cause. Calendar reminders add 1 to your app icon badge count when you have any unread reminders, regardless of how many there are.

To opt out, open the Activity feed (bell icon at the top of the sidebar), click the settings icon, and uncheck Unread for Calendar reminders.

Can I hide certain activity types without losing them entirely?

Yes. Unchecking Display for an activity type hides it from the All view, but you can still see those activities by switching to that type's specific filter. They are not deleted.

How do I open the Activity feed from the keyboard?

Open the command bar with ⌘/Ctrl + K and type Open Activity feed.

When are activities marked as read?

Activities are marked as read when you open the Activity feed. The unread dot on the bell disappears immediately on open, but individual activity items keep their unread styling until you close the panel.

Can I check off individual activities or mark them unread to come back to?

No, there's no per-item read/unread toggle in the Activity feed, and that's by design. The feed isn't meant to be another inbox to manage with its own read states. It's a lightweight reminder that something happened, so you can go check it when you want.

For a "remind me to come back to this" workflow, act on the conversation itself instead:

• Snooze the conversation so it returns to your Inbox when you're ready.
• Mark unread so it stays visible in your Inbox until you've handled it.
