# Budget Notifications

Users can get notified (on a [notification channel](/administration/notifications.md#channels)) whenever a configured threshold is reached. This way you can inform customers, departments, or project owners when they are reaching their configured budget.\
\
These are the steps to configure a Budget notification:

{% hint style="info" %}
This tutorial teaches you how to create notifications for yourself, but you can also [create them for other users](/administration/notifications.md#creating-notifications-for-other-users) if you have admin rights.
{% endhint %}

\
\
1\. [Create a Budget](/accounts/budgets.md) or choose an existing one.

2\. Click on your username at the top right corner of the screen, then select **My Notifications.**

3\. Fill in the details (**Name**, **Title** and **Description**) and make sure the **Trigger** is set to *Budget Evaluated*:

4\. Select a **Budget**.

5\. It is possible to select **Only specific accounts** in the chosen Budget by ticking the **Enabled** box.

6\. Configure the **Threshold** to your desired percentage. 

*In the example image above, the threshold of 80% indicates that a notification will be sent when 80% of the Budget will be reached.*

7\. You can opt between sending a Budget notification only the first time it has passed the threshold or every time that budget gets evaluated. To do this tick/untick the **Enabled** box next to **Only once**. 

8\. Finally, click the **Create** button.
