## Change a Notification

1. Find the notification you want to change.
2. Turn **In-app** or **Email** on or off for that row.
3. Wait for the change to save before changing another toggle.

Changes save automatically. In-app notifications appear in the notification bell. Email notifications go to the address on your profile.

Push notifications are managed in the Maeve mobile app.

**Reviews** covers your team's and your clients' review activity. Clients are emailed about their reviews and do not use these settings.

For example, turn on email for **Review requests** if you need to know when a review is waiting on you. Turn on **Mentions** if you want an email when a teammate mentions you in a comment.

## Check the Defaults

In-app notifications start on for every event except **New inbox messages**. Email starts on for these events:

* Publishing failures.
* Missed scheduled posts.
* Accounts that need reconnecting.
* Approvals on my content.

All other email notifications start off.

Enable inbox notifications separately

To receive notifications when new messages arrive, turn on **In-app** beside **New inbox messages**. Incoming messages still appear in the inbox when this notification is off.

## If a Toggle Is Disabled

Email is not currently available for **New inbox messages**, **Reviews completed**, or **Team insights turned on**. The disabled control shows a reason underneath it.

Controls also pause briefly while a preference is saving. Wait for that update to finish before making another change.

## Questions

### Are notification settings per workspace?

No. Your notification preferences apply across your workspaces and only affect you.

### Which notifications email me by default?

Publishing failures, missed scheduled posts, accounts that need reconnecting, and approvals on your content. Other email notifications start off.

### Why do I not get notified about new inbox messages?

New inbox messages is off by default. Open Settings > Notifications and enable In-app for that row.

### Which notifications cover approvals?

The Reviews group covers review requests, reminders, decisions on content you sent for review, and messages on reviews you are part of.

### Where do push notifications come from?

Push notifications are delivered through the Maeve mobile app and managed there.

### Why is a toggle greyed out?

Email is unavailable for new inbox messages, reviews completed, and team insights notifications. Controls also pause while a change is saving. Check the reason shown beneath the toggle.

### Which notifications should I turn on first?

Enable the events you need to act on. For example, turn on Review requests if you review posts, or Mentions if your team asks questions in comments.
