# Notifications

Go to [Account Settings > Notifications](https://app.cogram.com/dashboard/settings/account-settings/notifications) to control how Cogram notifies you.

Notifications reach you on up to two channels:

* **In-app**: the [notification bell](/guides/notifications.md) in the header row
* **Email**: sent to your account email address

## Tasks & approvals

These notifications appear in the bell and, by default, also send an email. The in-app channel is always on. Turning email off never removes the item from your bell. Toggle the **Email** column per category:

| Category                 | When it fires                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Task assignments**     | A task or action item is assigned to you.                                                                                                                  |
| **Approvals & requests** | Someone requests access to a project you can grant access to.                                                                                              |
| **Mentions**             | Someone @mentions you in a [project chat](/guides/project-chat.md) channel. Emails are batched, and skipped entirely if you have already read the channel. |

## Email-only notifications

These notifications are sent by email only (shown with a dash in the In-app column):

| Setting                         | What it does                                                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Post-meeting summary email**  | Automatically send a summary email after a meeting ends.                                                                                                                   |
| **Shared meeting minutes**      | Receive an email with a link to the draft meeting minutes when a colleague shares them with you. Only sent if your organization has enabled share-link emails to invitees. |
| **Pre-meeting briefing emails** | Receive a briefing email before recurring meetings with context from previous meetings.                                                                                    |
| **Meeting failure**             | Receive an email when Cogram is unable to join or transcribe a meeting.                                                                                                    |
| **Added to project**            | Receive an email when you are added to a project.                                                                                                                          |
| **Workflow reports**            | Receive scheduled workflow report emails.                                                                                                                                  |

## Locked settings

Your organization or group admin may lock certain notification settings. When a setting is locked, the toggle is disabled and a lock icon appears with a message explaining who locked it (e.g., "Locked by your organization."). Contact your admin if you need a locked setting changed.

> **Note:** Organization admins can manage notification defaults and locks for all members under [Organization Settings > Notifications](https://app.cogram.com/dashboard/settings/admin/notifications). See [Organization Notification Settings](/administration/notifications.md) for details.

## 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://docs.cogram.com/settings/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.
