Stories are generated when users take actions in Asana.

- Added collaborator or @mention
A story is a sequence of events—e.g., Tom commented at 1:10 p.m., Tom assigned to Mary at 1:15 p.m., and Mary added a due date at 1:20 p.m. Stories are a history of the actions taken.
The option to allow notifications for Asana might be different depending on the browser you are using, but there will be a notice asking something similar to "Do you want to allow app.asana.com to display notifications?" and a button to allow and another one to deny.
