# Choose your notifications

The portal emails you when something needs you or changes, such as a new
invoice or an approval waiting for your answer. You choose how you hear about
each kind of event. This page shows how.

## How it works

- You hear only about what your permissions let you see. Someone without
  billing access gets no invoice emails.
- Until you choose, each event uses the default your IT provider set.
- A **Daily summary** collects everything from all your organizations into one
  email, once a day, at a time your IT provider sets, in your own time zone.
  Set your time zone on **Your account**.
- **Sign-ins and security changes on your account** are always on, so you know
  if someone else gets into your account.
- Ticket emails you get because you asked for help on that ticket are sent
  whatever you choose here.

## Choose your notifications

1. Open the account menu, which shows your name, and select **Notifications**.
   The page is for the organization you have open. Switch organization first
   to choose for another.
2. For each event, choose **Right away**, **Daily summary**, or **Off**.
3. Select **Save**.

To go back to what was saved, select **Undo changes**.

| Group | Events |
| --- | --- |
| Billing | A new invoice is ready, an invoice is due soon, an invoice is overdue, a payment went through, a payment failed, an automatic payment failed |
| Approvals | A quote is waiting for a decision, a quote expires soon, an approval is waiting for you, a milestone is ready for sign-off |
| Tickets and requests | A ticket was opened, updated, or resolved, a request was completed |
| Remote access | Remote access is about to expire |
| Your account | Sign-ins and security changes on your account |
