# Notifications

DMARCwise notifies you about relevant events detected on your domains, like a DMARC record that has been set up correctly or a new DKIM selector found in the DMARC reports.

Notifications are shown in the **notification center** of the dashboard and can also be sent by **email**. The organization decides which notifications are generated, while each user decides which ones they receive by email.

The notification center is not an activity log: it only lists a curated set of events that you may want to know about.

## Notification types

The following types of notifications are available.

| Notification | When it's generated |
| --- | --- |
| DMARC configuration validated | The DMARC record of a domain has been set up correctly to send reports to DMARCwise. |
| TLSRPT configuration validated | The TLSRPT record of a domain has been set up correctly to send reports to DMARCwise. |
| Hosted MTA-STS MX records changed | A change in the MX records of a domain with [hosted MTA-STS](/docs/mta-sts/setup) was detected and its policy was updated. |
| New DKIM selector discovered | A new [DKIM selector](/docs/dkim/overview) was found in the DMARC reports of a domain or one of its subdomains. |

Which types are enabled and who receives them by email by default is shown in the dashboard, under **Settings** → **Notifications**.

Some emails, like billing reminders or warnings about hosted services that need attention, are not part of the notification center and are always sent. See [System notifications](/docs/organization/system-notifications) for the full list.

## Notification center

To see the notifications of your organization, navigate to the **Notifications** tab of the dashboard.

From there, you can browse the latest events on your domains and check your email preferences and the organization settings in the sidebar.

## Organization settings

Owners and admins can choose which types of notifications are generated for the organization:

- Navigate to **Settings** → **Notifications**.
- Use the switch next to each notification type to enable or disable it.
- Click <DocsButton>Reset to default</DocsButton> to restore the default setting.

Each notification type also shows which roles receive it by email by default.

When a notification type is disabled, **no notifications of that type are generated**: they don't appear in the notification center and no emails are sent, regardless of the users' email preferences.

- Only **owners** and **admins** can change the organization notification settings.

</DocsInfoBlock>

## Email preferences

Each user chooses which of the enabled notifications they receive by email. By default, this depends on the user's role in the organization.

To change your email preferences:

- Open the user menu in the top right corner of the dashboard and choose **Account settings**.
- Navigate to **Notifications**.
- Use the switch next to each notification type to subscribe or unsubscribe.
- Click <DocsButton>Reset to default</DocsButton> to go back to the default for your role.

As long as you keep the default preference, your subscription follows your current role: for example, if you're promoted to admin, you'll start receiving the notifications that admins receive by default.

Notification types disabled for the organization are marked with a **Disabled for organization** label. Your preference is kept and applies again once the type is enabled.

## Notification emails

**Notification emails are grouped by type**: when the same event is detected on several domains at around the same time, you'll receive a single email covering all of them, instead of one email per domain.

Each email includes a link to your **email preferences**, so you can quickly change which notifications you receive.

Users who **haven't completed their account setup** yet don't receive notification emails.
