#  Notifications for an application

Automated Notifications can be configured for events that occur on an application’s
environments (e.g., code deployments, plugin vulnerabilities identified in application
code).

Manage Notifications for an application’s environments in [the VIP Dashboard for that application](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/application-view/).
Notifications for an application can be configured [per-environment type (production vs. non-production)](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-platform/environments/),
or for a single specific environment of that application.

## Access

**Prerequisite**

**To view, add, edit, or remove** Notifications for an application—or to** add**
a new Destination for an application’s Notifications—a user must have at minimum
an [App write role](https://docs.wpvip.com/manage-user-access/vip-dashboard/org-roles/)
for that application or an [Org member role](https://docs.wpvip.com/manage-user-access/vip-dashboard/org-roles/).

To access the **Notifications** panel for an application:

 1. Navigate to the [VIP Dashboard](https://dashboard.wpvip.com/) for an application.
 2. Select **“Notifications”** from the sidebar navigation at the left of the screen.

The Notifications panel also provides access to [the Important Alerts panel](https://docs.wpvip.com/notifications/important-alerts/)
for users with an App admin role for that application or an Org admin role.

## Add a Notification

Create a Notification for one or more of an application’s environments within the**
Notifications** panel:

 1. Select the button labeled “**+ Add Notification**” located in the upper right of
    the panel.
 2. **Environment:** Select the field with the placeholder text “Choose environment
    or start typing“. Select the environment(s) from the dropdown list for which the
    Notification will be enabled, or type the name of an environment into the field.
    As characters are entered into the search field, environments that match the characters
    can be selected from a dynamically generated dropdown list.
 3.  * **All Environments**
     * **All Non-Production Environments**
     * **A specific environment:** Select a specific environment belonging to a single
       application by type (e.g., Preprod, Develop, QA1).
 4. **Event Type:** Configure one of the available “[Notification event types](https://docs.wpvip.com/notifications/event-types/)”
    to be communicated in the Notification. Only one event type can be configured per
    Notification.
 5. **Destination:** Select [a Destination for this Notification](https://docs.wpvip.com/notifications/destinations/)
    from the list of options in the dropdown menu. Select the field with the placeholder
    text “Choose Destination or start typing“. Type or select a Destination for this
    Notification from the dropdown list. Or, add a new Destination to the option list
    by selecting the button labeled “**+ Add New Destination**” and follow the prompts.
 6. Select the button labeled “**Add Notification**” located in the upper right of 
    the panel to complete the creation of the Notification with the selected configurations.

## Enable or disable a Notification

Configured Notifications that are listed in the application’s **Notifications** 
panel can be selectively enabled or disabled. A toggle button is displayed to the
right of each listed Notification. Select the button to enable (“✔️”) or disable(“
✖️”) the Notification.

## Edit a Notification

Configured values for a Notification that is listed in the application’s **Notifications**
panel can be updated.

 2. Update the configuration options for the Notification as needed.
 3. Select the button labeled “**Update Notification**” located in the upper right 
    of the panel to save all changes made to the configuration of the Notification.

## Remove a Notification

Configured Notifications that are listed in the application’s **Notifications** 
panel can be selectively removed.

 1. Select the linked text “**Remove**” located to the right of a listed Notification.
    A dialog titled “Remove Notification” will display a summary of the Notification’s
    configuration, and require confirmation from the user before the Notification is
    removed.

    Notification**“.
