# Alerts Configuration

## **How to configure alerts**

### Email <a href="#setup-email" id="setup-email"></a>

Currently, only the Trend Summary alert is available by email, and it cannot be configured. If you’d like to unsubscribe, you can click the unsubscribe link in the email, or email us at <support@multitudes.com>

### Slack <a href="#configure-slack" id="configure-slack"></a>

Once our Slack integration has been set up, the[ Settings > Alerts](https://app.multitudes.co/teamSettings/alerts) page will show various configurations.

* To set up a new alert (unchecked box), check the box to show the config modal with steps to configure (e.g. channel, frequency).
* To edit an alert, click the link text next to the checked box to bring up the config modal.
* To turn off an alert, uncheck the box.

You can also edit specific alerts directly by clicking the bell icons on the My Insights page.

* The bell icon next to the `Trend Summary`  section headline links to the [Trend Summary alert](https://docs.multitudes.com/knowledge-base/types-of-alerts/trend-summary-alert)
* The bell icon on the cards for Change Lead Time, Merge Frequency, and Change Failure Rate, in the `Take Action` section link to the [Daily Blocked PRs alert](https://docs.multitudes.com/knowledge-base/types-of-alerts/daily-blocked-prs-alert).

Clicking the bell icon will either prompt you to connect to Slack if you have not set up our Slack integration, or show a modal for configuring the relevant alert if you are already set up.

## Which teams do I get alerts for?

It depends on your team settings and permissions.

For both the [Trend Summary email](https://docs.multitudes.com/knowledge-base/types-of-alerts/trend-summary-alert) and [Multitudes AI Coach Slack](https://docs.multitudes.com/knowledge-base/types-of-alerts/multitudes-ai-coach) alerts, whether you receive these alerts at the team - or company - level depends on set up and [permissions](https://docs.multitudes.com/configuration-and-setup/permissions-and-roles), as well as whether you’re either part of a team or [watching](https://docs.multitudes.com/permissions-and-roles#watcher-role) it, both of which are configurable on the [Settings > Teams](https://app.multitudes.co/teamSettings/team) page.

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">**If your company has at least one team set up**</mark>

* You're a team member or watcher: you will receive alerts for *each* team that you're on or watching (permissions don't matter)
* You have Manager or Owner permissions: you will receive company-wide alerts
* You have Member permission but you're not on a team or watching a team: you will *not* receive any alert

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">**If your company does not have teams set up**</mark>

* You will receive the notification for the company as a whole (permissions don't matter)
