# Notification Preferences

Control what notifications you receive and how you receive them.

## Configuring notifications

Go to **Settings > Notifications** to manage your personal preferences. Changes autosave shortly after you toggle a setting or change a field.

Notification preferences affect only your user account. They do not change what other team members receive and do not turn organization automation rules on or off.

## Email notifications

Use **Email Notifications** to decide whether DocJacket sends notification emails to you. When email notifications are on, you can choose which categories should email you:

- **Transaction updates** — Changes to contract details, parties, or status
- **Deadline reminders** — Upcoming tasks and key-date contingencies
- **Task and milestone completions** — Work completed for you
- **Document activity** — New uploads, approvals, or rejections
- **System alerts** — Account, billing, and AI action alerts

Turn off **Email Notifications** if you do not want notification emails. In-app notifications can still appear if that separate setting is enabled.

## Morning Briefing

DocJacket can send you a daily morning briefing email with overdue tasks, upcoming deadlines, and suggested actions.

When **Morning Briefing** is on, choose:

- **Delivery Time** — The local time to send the briefing
- **Timezone** — Eastern, Central, Mountain, Arizona, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii, or UTC

Use **Send Test Briefing** to send a real briefing email to your inbox immediately. If there is no briefing data available, DocJacket may show that there was nothing to send.

## In-App Notifications

Use **In-App Notifications** to control whether alerts appear in the bell icon panel.

## Tips

- Start with email and in-app notifications on, then turn off the categories that are noisy for your role
- Keep the morning briefing on if you like a daily overview of overdue work and upcoming deadlines
- Use the test briefing after changing time or timezone settings so you know what the email looks like
