Disable automation notification on Desktop Mac

I see the badge notification on the desktop even though I closed all notifications from Mac and account and snoozed notifications all day.

    Hey geryit, thanks for the screenshot and sorry for jumping in. 

     

    At the moment, I’m afraid it’s not possible to completely disable this type of notifications. 

     

    However, from what I could find, there may be an update soon that will allow you to control how many notifications you get about automations.

    Hi geryit, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    If you click the notification bell icon, do you see any messages in yellow there?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

        The red dot means it hasn't been read. Could you click on it, or the option on the top right to Mark all as read? This should remove the desktop notification.

    Have you tried unchecking all notifications within the preferences page in the desktop app?
