# Notifications

> What Devic tells you about, in the console and by email.

Notifications are how Devic reaches *you*: a run waiting for approval, an execution that failed, a mailbox that needs re-authorising.

![Notifications](https://mintcdn.com/devic/DKyKkxiOLW4okLYC/images/admin/notifications.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=DKyKkxiOLW4okLYC\&q=85\&s=3500efae8039dca9647265690320d514)

## Two channels

> [card] In the console
>
> A panel in the header, with unread counts. The default for anything you will see while working.

> [card] By email
>
> For what should reach you when you are not looking at Devic — an approval blocking a process, a failure out of hours.

Preferences are per notification type and per channel, so you can keep approvals in your inbox and everything else in the panel.

## What generates one

The most common are the ones that block work or cost money:

| Event | Why it is worth knowing |
| - | - |
| **Run waiting for approval** | A human-in-the-loop step stops until someone acts. |
| **Run failed** | Something to look at, whether it was the model, a tool or a limit. |
| **Limit reached** | A tenant or user hit their ceiling and is being refused. |
| **Connection needs attention** | A mailbox or integration whose credentials stopped working. |

## Marking as read

Read state is per user, so a notification you have dealt with does not keep nagging your colleagues — and one they dismissed does not disappear for you.
