# Notifications Notifications are messages that are sent to a specific channel (e-mail, SMS, Slack, webhook) based on an event such as a Published Report*,* a Budget Evaluation, or a Workflow exit status. These events are typically triggered by a *Workflow*. Notifications are always created for a specific user. It is possible to create a notification for your own account and, if you have admin rights, for another user. ### View My Notifications You can view the notifications in your profile via the user icon in the top right corner: ![](/files/-MeR7zMbFhktzkewriW-) ### Channels If you don't have any notifications yet, you will first need to create one or more channels. To create a new Channel, click on the tab *Channels* and specify a name and a type. In case of an e-mail, you will need to provide a valid e-mail address or use your personal profile e-mail address: ![](/files/-MeR8I_wOACLiTznrFje) Make sure a valid e-mail configuration has been configured in the [*System Settings*](/3.5.4/administration/settings.md#mail-server) of your Exivity instance. ### Creating Notifications To create a notification, use the *Notifications* tab to create one: ![](/files/-MeRAoiYCObW2ycUuNGJ) Depending on the selected Trigger, different options will be provided. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
