# Alerts & notifications

:brain: Looking to set up your own alert? See [Setting up alerts](https://docs.nlx.ai/platform/nlx-platform-guide/analytics/creating-dashboards#setting-up-alerts)

### What are notifications?

*Notifications* provides a feed of recent alerts from *Analytics* dashboards created in the workspace. It also allows you to manage email subscriptions of alerts, see what alerts have been created in the workspace, and define clustering alerts.

To access, click your username in your workspace menu and choose *Notifications*:

### Alert details

Alerts that appear in the *Notifications* display the following:

* Name of analytics metric and summary of the event
* Date and time of the alert
* *Mark as read*: Dismisses the alert from appearing in your notification feed
* *View chart*: Directly navigates to the dashboard panel containing the alert for advanced details

### Managing notifications

For managing notifications in the workspace, the Notification manager offers a few options:

* *Notifications tab*: Provides a table of recent notifications and allows for bulk actions, including *Delete* or *Mark all as read*
* *Clustering alert setup* tab (enterprise only): Allows for creating alerts of detected clusters from [unknown utterances](https://docs.nlx.ai/platform/nlx-platform-guide/flows-and-building-blocks/advanced/nlp-training). You may specify email subscriptions using the *Send to* dropdown field when setting up your clustering alert
* *Analytics alert setup* tab: Provides a table of all alerts that are set up in the workspace.&#x20;
