Notifications
Learn how to use Notifications to view and manage important alerts about your deployments, domains, integrations, account, and usage.Notifications are available on all plans
Vercel sends configurable notifications to you through the dashboard and email. These notifications enable you to view and manage important alerts about your deployments, domains, integrations, account, and usage.
There are a number of places where you can receive notifications:
- Web: The Vercel dashboard displays a popover, which contains all relevant notifications
- Email: You'll receive an email when any of the alerts that you set either on your Hobby team or team have been triggered
- SMS: SMS notifications can only be configured on a per-user basis for Spend Management notifications.
By default, you will receive both web and email notifications for all types of alerts. You can manage these notifications from the Settings tab, but any changes you make will only affect your notifications.
There are two main ways to interact with web notifications:
- Read: Unread notifications are displayed with a counter on the bell icon. When you view a notification on the web, it will be marked as read once you close the popover. Because of this, we also will not send an email if you have already read it on the web.
- Archive: You can manage the list of notifications by archiving them. You can view these archived notifications in the archive tab, where they will be visible for 365 days.
You can manage your notifications by using the following steps:
- Select your team from the scope selector.
- Go to the Settings tab of your account or team's dashboard, and under **Account, select **My Notifications**.
- From here, you can toggle where you would like to receive notifications for each different type of notification.
Any changes you make will only be reflected for your notifications and not for any other members of the team.
You can receive feedback on your deployments with the Comments feature. When someone leaves a comment, you'll receive a notification on Vercel. You can see all new comments in the Comments tab of your notifications.
Learn more in the Comments docs.
Customizing on-demand usage notifications is available on Pro plans
Those with the owner role can access this feature
You'll receive notifications when you pass base usage limits for products like Serverless Functions, Edge Functions, Edge Middleware, Image Optimization, Remote Cache, and more.
Team owners on the Pro plan can customize which usage categories they want to receive notifications for based on percentage thresholds or absolute dollar values.
Emails are sent out at specific usage thresholds which varies based on the feature and plan you are on. The below table outlines the thresholds for each:

If you choose to disable notifications, you won't receive alerts for any excessive charges within that category. This may result in unexpected additional costs on your bill. It is recommended that you carefully consider the implications of turning off notifications for any usage thresholds before making changes to your notification settings.
The types of notifications available for you to manage depend on the role you are assigned within your team. For example, someone with a Developer role will only be able to be notified of Deployment failures and Integration updates.
It is not possible to disable all notifications for alerts that are critical to your Vercel workflow. You can opt-out of one specific channel, like email, but not both email and web notifications. This is because of the importance of these notifications for using the Vercel platform. The list below provides information on which alerts are critical.
