Using LevelFour
Notifications
What LevelFour notifies you about, in the dashboard and by email, and how to choose which notifications you get.
LevelFour notifies you in the dashboard when something needs you or has changed: a teammate mentions you, an approval waits on you, or a saving was applied. The bell in the dashboard header holds them, and clicking one takes you to the page it is about.
What you are notified about
| Notification | When |
|---|---|
| Mentions and approvals | Someone mentions you or replies to your thread on a saving, asks you for an approval, or decides one you asked for |
| Account and savings updates | A saving was applied or failed, a cost data export needs setting up, or a connector's status changed |
| Cost alert | A cost alert you receive fires |
Notifications are personal. Each person in the organization gets their own and chooses their own preferences.
Choose what you get
Open Settings, then Notification preferences.
Below Cost alerts, the All notifications switch turns everything on or off at once. Below it, each notification has its own switch. A few are always delivered, and those say so on their row.
Any notification can also reach you by email, at the address on your LevelFour account. Email is off for every notification until you turn it on. Open a notification's row and switch on Email for the ones you want in your inbox. The bell keeps getting them either way.
Cost alerts in Slack and by email
Every cost alert you receive is in the bell. At the top of Notification preferences, Cost alerts sets where else it reaches you:
- Slack: a direct message from LevelFour in your organization's workspace. LevelFour looks you up by your email. If it cannot message you, the switch stays off and says why: no Slack connected, no email on your account, or nobody in the workspace with that email. The same switch sits in each alert's form, under Your Slack DMs.
- Email: each cost alert you receive, sent to the email address on your account. It is off until you turn it on, on the Cost alert row in the list below or under Your email in an alert's form. Both are the same switch.
Slack covers direct messages and the channels each alert posts in.
