# Notifications

> Alerts for things that need your attention.

**Notifications** are targeted alerts sent to you when something in your community requires a response or a decision. Unlike the Activity feed (which logs everything automatically), notifications are specifically for things you should know about.

## Severity levels

| Severity       | When you'll see it                                                                             |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 🔴 **Error**   | Something failed — an airdrop didn't complete, the bot lost permissions, etc.                  |
| 🟡 **Warning** | Something needs attention but isn't broken yet                                                 |
| 🔵 **Info**    | A completed action worth knowing about — airdrop finished, giveaway ended, daily report posted |

## Managing notifications

**Marking as read** — Click any notification to mark it as read. If it has a direct link, clicking it takes you there and marks it read at the same time.

**Mark all as read** — Use the **Mark all read** button at the top to clear everything at once.

**Filtering** — Switch between **All** and **Unread** to focus on what still needs your attention.

## The unread badge

The red number badge on the **Notifications** sidebar item shows how many unread notifications you have. It updates automatically as new alerts come in.

<Tip>
  Make it a habit to check notifications before starting any major community action. Error alerts often point to things that need fixing first (like bot permissions) before other tools will work correctly.
