### Notifications <a href="#notifications" id="notifications"></a>

Email notifications are managed here. It is possible to define your overall notifications settings applied to all projects. By default, email notifications are turned on for the following notification types:

* Background tasks in failure on my administered projects
* Changes in issues/hotspots assigned to me
* New quality gate status
* My new issues

{% hint style="info" %}
**Point to Note:**

1. A notification is never sent to the author of the event.
2. The author will not get notified about their own issues. It's only the assignee who gets notified and not the author.
3. The author/developer can look at their respective issues from the CodeScan UI.
   {% endhint %}

### **Adding Notifications to a Project**

To add notifications for a specific project, select **`Add a Project`** and **`Search`** a project by name in the search menu. Two additional notification option types, especially applicable to team projects, are available on the per-project level:

* Issues resolved as false positive or won't fix
* New issues
