Wanted to flag this up again, this well-written comment describes the problem I am having on a daily basis, too: > [@Oshyan](#): > > but it is hard-hard-hard to keep people “situationally aware”, on task, etc. And I include myself in that! My list of open tasks seems to only grow as every time I look at it I generally have something to add _and_ see things I should be dealing with but have been neglecting. 😬 For context, I am really missing the concept of a “Watcher”: > [@\[DONE\] "Watcher" of an Entity](https://community.fibery.io/t/watcher-of-an-entity-use-the-assignment-extension/563): > > Hi guys, I was interested in creating the equivalent functionality of “watcher” that is offered by a lot of PM apps around their tasks and entities. This is a user who is “subscribed” to an entity’s activity - so they are informed when any status changes, fields are adjusted, comments are made, and so forth. Can I use the “assignment” extension to create this functionality? Or would I need to do this another way if that extension needs to be reserved for only actual assignees? Thanks guys! In most Work Mgmt stuff like Jira, Asana, etc. you can be added as a “watcher” and you get notifications about key activity in an Entity, for example a comment that is not specifically @mentioned to you, or when status changes. In Notion, you can be added as a “share” and at least you get some notifications, like when comments are made. So they have this in some format as well. In Fibery, the only way I can let somebody know about an entity is to force @mention them. So it’s awkward if I have somebody I’d like to keep abreast of an Entity who is not the assignee. I have to go into comments, @mention him/her, and say "we just moved this from “planning” to “execution,” otherwise they won’t know. I’ll add that with the actual existing of a Workflow Extension, it seems there is a lot of potential in Fibery that would be superior to Notion or Coda, which don’t have any concept of “workflow” unless you build formulas and make workarounds. So I am really hoping the Workflow extension can pick up some integration with Notifications - soon! - as this is something that really plagues my team on a daily basis.
