# Notifications

## Email Notifications

We will always let you know about important changes and updates, but you can customize the type of non-transactional notifications you receive through email from specific roles and entities in the platform.

To manage email notifications for your individual profile as well as the communities and organizations you are part of, you can open the *Notifications Settings* page that you can find in your *Account Settings*

### Notifications regarding your activity

These are the notification settings related to the activities that occur on the platform. These activities may have been triggered directly by you or by someone else in the context of a Community or Organization that you are a core contributor to.

There are potentially three main groups in this section that will be displayed or not based on the organizations you're part of.

* **Communities you host:** These are the notifications you receive as the admin of a fiscal host. This includes all the notifications relevant to the fiscal-host admin that may have been triggered by the host or any of the communities you're hosting.
* **Communities you manage:** These are the notification you receive as the admin of a community. This includes all the notifications relevant to this community admin, these notifications may have been triggered by you, another community admin, or a contributor in this specific community context.
* **Organizations you manage:** Same as the previous section, but display only Organizations.

On the ***Communities you host*** group, you'll find all the communities you're a core contributor to next to the host's main notifications toggle switch. This switch will let you disable all the non-transactional notifications triggered by this host and its hosted communities.

You can also click on *Show advanced settings* to expand and tweak the classes of notifications you want to receive. This setting is particularly useful for hosts that segment their responsibilities managing their notifications. Notice that whenever you switch the host main toggle, you're also resetting the class configuration you set.

For the ***Communities*** and ***Organizations you manage*** groups, we display only a summary of your current settings and a button to open those group-specific settings:

You can then use the "Show group settings" button to open the same type of settings you have for the Host group settings:

### Updates about the platform and Communities you support

These are the notifications triggered by updates and newsletters sent by our platform and by the communities you support.
