## In-App Notifications

Our In-App Notifications tool allows you and your team to receive **real time **notifications and alerts within FunctionFox. Enabled for all users on the account, your notifications can be accessed by clicking on the bell icon in the top right of your FunctionFox window to open the notifications modal.

#### Setting Notification/Alert Options

You can manage your notification settings through the **My Preferences **page. Access the Settings & Preferences gear icon by clicking on your initials at the top right of your FunctionFox window, click on the My Preferences tab, and then scroll down to the Notifications section. 

#### Selecting Notifications/Alerts

Each user on the account will be able to set their own notification preferences based off their assigned access level, with the option to receive notifications in-app as well as through email.

**Notification Groupings:**

- Select All Notifications
- General Notifications
- Project Notifications
- Project Manager Notifications
- To-Do & Action Notifications

**Note:** In-app notifications sent within FunctionFox are instant, while email notifications are sent out from our servers every few minutes. Email notifications can only be enabled when the corresponding in-app notification has been activated. Email notifications will only be sent for alerts that have not already been viewed within the notification modal, unless the ‘**Always Email Notifications**’ preference has been checked off.

#### Notification Modal

Once you have subscribed to in-app notifications and an alert has been triggered, the notification icon will light up in red. Clicking on the alert icon will open the notification modal, resetting the alert icon back to its default state.
