# Notifications

> Schedule email reports, configure notification workflows, and view real-time updates in the nOps in-app notification feed.

## Overview

nOps uses [Knock](https://knock.app) to power its notification system. **Email notifications are on by default** (including organizations that have no saved Knock block in settings, which use the standard workflow). Turn them off only in **Settings > Notifications** if you want an explicit opt-out saved for your org. You can schedule email reports, configure workflows, and receive real-time in-app notifications about cost changes, canvas updates, and more.

## Enabling notifications

**Settings > Notifications** is visible to every member of your organization, but only **admins** can turn organization-wide email notifications on or off. Email notifications are configured at the organization level and stay on unless an administrator explicitly disables them here.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open notification settings">
    Go to **Settings > Notifications**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm or adjust email notifications">
    Notifications are on unless you have turned them off here. Toggle off to disable canvas and scheduled email; leave them on to use the default workflow and sender configuration for your organization. The page also shows the current connection status (Enabled, Disabled, or Error).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Scheduled email reports

You can schedule email reports for any canvas — useful for sending recurring cost summaries to stakeholders who may not log in to nOps regularly.

| Option               | Description                                                                                                                   |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **One-time**         | Send a single email at a specific date and time.                                                                              |
| **Recurring**        | Send daily, weekly, or monthly at a time you choose.                                                                          |
| **Recipient**        | Any address on your organization's domain (or a verified additional domain) — the recipient does not need to be an nOps user. |
| **Subject and body** | Customize the email subject and body text.                                                                                    |

### Creating a scheduled report

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the canvas">
    Navigate to the canvas you want to report on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Share Reports">
    Click the **Share Reports** button (mail icon) in the top-right corner of the canvas toolbar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the schedule">
    Choose **one-time** or **recurring**, set the date/time (or daily/weekly/monthly recurrence), enter the recipient email, and customize the subject and body.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The notification appears in your **Scheduled** list. You can edit, pause, or delete it at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Slack & Teams delivery

Reports and scheduled results can also be delivered to **Slack** and **Microsoft Teams** channels — on their own or alongside email recipients. Connect a workspace in **Settings → Notifications**, then pick channels when you send or schedule a report. See [Slack & Teams delivery](/platform/slack-and-teams) for setup and details.

## In-app notification feed

The notification bell in the top navigation shows real-time updates. Click it to open the notification feed, where you can review recent alerts and navigate directly to the relevant canvas or setting.
