- Which release introduced native in-app Bell notifications for standard Approval Process?
- Is there a specific release note link for this feature?
- Is this enabled by default for all orgs or does it require any setup?

Hi Nia,
Based on the available Salesforce documentation, there isn't a specific release note that states native in-app (Bell) notifications for standard Approval Processes
were introduced in a particular release. The feature has been available in Lightning Experience for several releases, but Salesforce doesn't appear to have a dedicated release note announcing its introduction.
A few points that may help:
- Standard Approval Processes can generate native in-app (Bell) notifications for assigned approvers in Lightning Experience.
- No additional setup is typically required to enable the Bell notifications themselves. They are part of the standard approval experience. However, users must have access to the record and the approval process must be configured correctly.
- You can configure email and Chatter notifications for Classic Approval Processes, but Bell notifications aren't exposed as a separate org-level setting to enable or disable.
If you're looking for an official reference, these are the most relevant Salesforce Help articles:
- Approval notification templates and notification behavior: Choose Request Notification Templates for a Classic Approval Process
- Approval notifications in the Salesforce Mobile App: Salesforce Mobile App: How to Submit and Manage Approval Requests
If your goal is to identify when Bell notifications first became available, I haven't found an official Salesforce release note that documents their initial introduction.
