# Notifications

Koo tells you what happened in your account: deployment results, billing alerts, team changes, and activity on your public apps. Notifications arrive in the in-app feed, by email, or both — you choose per event kind. Everything on this page is also available programmatically through the [Notifications API](/api/notifications).

## The notification bell

The bell in the dashboard header is your notification feed. It shows an unread count and lists events newest-first, covering:

- 
- 
- 
- 
-

To work the feed:

1. 
2. 
3.

Notifications are private to you — each member of a team gets their own feed and their own preferences.

## Deploy notifications

Two kinds cover the deploy pipeline:

- 
-

Both go to the person who triggered the deployment. Deploys triggered by a Git push or by Koo itself don't notify anyone yet.

Like every kind, both channels are yours to change in [preferences](#preferences).

## Email delivery

The same events can reach your inbox. Whether a kind emails you follows your preference for it: **email** or **both** sends an email, **in-app** or **off** keeps it out of your inbox.

Email is a best-effort layer on top of the feed. If an email bounces or the email provider has an outage, the in-app notification still lands, so the feed is always your complete history.

## Preferences

Open **Settings → Notifications** to choose how each event kind reaches you. Kinds are grouped by category (deploys, billing, team, community, account), and each has a delivery channel:

Every kind starts on a sensible default — deploy successes default to in-app only, deploy failures to both. You only need to change the kinds you care about; anything you haven't touched keeps its default.

## Some notifications always email

A few kinds ignore the **off** setting and always send an email:

- 
- 
- 
-

These appear locked to email in the preferences screen rather than pretending to be editable.

> **Note:**
>
> These events can affect your access, your data, or your bill, so they can't be muted. Everything else fully honors your preferences.

## Slack (Coming soon)

Slack delivery will post deploy events — started, live, and failed — to a channel of your choice through a Slack incoming webhook. You will add the webhook URL in your account settings and can disable the sink at any time without removing it.

Slack posts will respect your deploy notification preference: setting deploy kinds to **off** will silence Slack along with the feed and email.
