# Notifications

Notifications bring important activity back to you: agent findings, workflow updates, and other signals for the **current environment**.

## Delivery channels

Preferences are **per environment**. Pick how you want to be notified:

| Channel   | What it does                                              |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email** | Sends to your account email                               |
| **Slack** | Posts to a channel after you connect your Slack workspace |

Slack is optional. Connect Slack from **Integrations**, then choose the agent channels and environment. Set notification channels per environment under **Notification preferences**.

## Manage the inbox

Open a notification to read its full finding and mark it as read automatically. From the notification menu, you can mark it read or unread, archive it, or restore it from the **Archived** view.
