# Notifications

> Read your notification inbox and choose which publishing and review events reach you in the app and by email.

MagicPost tells you when a post goes out, when something needs a look, and when a review is waiting on you. Notices land in your inbox inside the app, and you can also receive some of them by email.

## The inbox

Click **Notifications** in the sidebar, just under **Home**. A badge on the bell shows how many notices are unread (it shows 99+ above 99).

The inbox lists notices newest first, grouped under **Today**, **Yesterday**, **This week** and **Earlier**, 30 to a page.

* **All** and **Unread** switch the list. The **Unread** tab shows your unread count.
* Click a notice to mark it as read and open the page it points to, such as the post, the channel list or the review queue.
* **Mark all as read** clears every unread notice at once.
* **Settings** opens your notification preferences.

Hover over the time on a notice to see the full date and time.

### What appears in the inbox

| Notice | What it tells you |
| - | - |
| Your post went out | A post is live on every channel it was meant for. Action: **View post**. |
| Your post only partly went out | The post reached some channels but not others. Action: **See what happened**. |
| Your post did not go out | The post could not be sent. Action: **See what happened**. |
| Check whether your post went out | A channel did not confirm the result, so MagicPost cannot tell whether the post is live. Check the channel yourself. |
| Reconnect (channel name) | A network stopped accepting posts from that channel. Scheduled posts for it wait until you reconnect. Action: **Reconnect**. |
| (Name) asked you to review a post | Someone on your team sent a post for sign-off. Action: **Review**. |
| Your post was approved | A reviewer approved your post. |
| Your post was not approved | A reviewer turned your post down, with their note when they left one. |
| Your post needs changes | A reviewer sent the post back to you. Action: **Edit post**. |
| (Name) commented on a post | A reply on a post under review. Action: **Reply**. |
| Team invitation | You were invited to join a team. See [Teams](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/account/teams.md). |
| Credits received | A team owner shared credits with you. |

You never get a notice about your own approval decision or your own comment.

## Notification settings

**1. Open the settings**

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **Notifications**. You can also click **Settings** in the inbox.

**2. Pick where each event goes**

Each row has two switches: **In app** and **Email**. Turn them on or off as you like.

**3. Save**

Click **Save changes**.

| Group | Event | In app | Email |
| - | - | - | - |
| Publishing | A post fails or only partly goes out. This includes any post MagicPost could not confirm. | On | On |
| Publishing | A channel needs reconnecting | On | On |
| Publishing | A post goes out | On | Off |
| Reviews | Someone asks you to review a post (only if you sign off posts for a team) | On | On |
| Reviews | Your post is approved or sent back | On | On |
| Reviews | Someone comments on a post under review | On | Off |

The table shows the defaults before you change anything.

Team invitations and shared credits are not on this page. They always reach your inbox, and invitations are also sent by email.

### Email limits

When a lot happens at once, MagicPost sends up to 6 emails of the same kind per hour and keeps the rest in your inbox. A channel that breaks can fail many posts in a minute, and this keeps your mailbox usable.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Email notices are sent through the queue using the site's mail settings. If you do not receive them, ask your administrator to check [Email and SMTP](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/smtp.md) and that the [cron job and queue](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/installation/cron-and-queue.md) are running.

## How long notices are kept

The administrator can delete read publishing notices after a set number of days. The setting is Admin → Publishing → Settings → **Keep read notifications**, with the choices **For good** or a number of days. Unread notices are always kept. See [Publishing settings](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/publishing-settings.md).
