# Report notifications

Users can get notified (on a [notification channel](/administration/notifications.md#channels)) whenever a report has been published. This way you can inform customers, departments, or project owners when their [Summary report](/reports/summary.md) is ready.\
\
These are the steps to configure a Report 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 Report](/data-pipelines/reports.md#creating-reports) 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 *Report published*:

4\. Select your Report.

5\. Choose the **Account depth** of the report. The highest will be the default.

6\. Choose between a **Separate** (default) or a **Consolidated** view type for your report.

7\. If **Consolidated** is selected, **Accounts** can be included as well:

8\. The **Group by** option allows you to choose between **Services** (default) and **Instances.**

9\. You can filter the **Account** if the **Report type** is set to **Separate.** By default, it is set to None. If None is selected, all accounts for the specified depth will be included in the report. If an account is selected, only the report for that account will be included.

10\. The Period section allows you to create the notification for the published report for the **Previous month** or the **Month to date.**

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

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://olddocs.exivity.io/administration/notifications/report-notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
