# Set up your notifications on your profile

# Two types of notifications on Spendesk

* some notifications are **general** and relate to your account's activity (payments, missing receipts...) and personal use (cards and requests). **These are email notifications.**

* Others depend on your role (**Account owner, Controller, Administrator or Requester**) or permissions (i.e **Cost center approver**). These notifications can be sent by email, push notification, Slack...

## General notifications

(Cards statuses, statements, low funds, sign-ups...)

Depending on your role, you can activate or deactivate some general notifications from your **Settings** tab, or by clicking on your **Avatar** (bottom left corner) > **My profile** > [Notifications](https://www.spendesk.com/app/B1stUp83/account/notifications).

### Emails sent to Requesters

* Physical card statuses (blocked, cancelled, marked as lost...).
* Payments with a physical card.
* Expired cards.
* A **weekly** activity recap
* An email when they are added to a "rule on receipt" or if a rule on receipt is updated

### Mobile notifications sent to Requesters

* When a payment is refused (card is blocked, limit is too low, etc.)
* When a new payment or refund is done
* When a withdrawal is done
* When there is a card pending activation

### Emails sent to other roles (Controllers, Admins...)

* a member sign-up.
* A physical card activation.
* Cards blocked, cancelled or marked as lost.
* Missing or uploaded invoices/receipts.

These notifications cannot be turned off. They are automatically sent.

### Notifications sent to Requesters

* Requests' status (approved, commented or refused) by email or Slack.
* On **Tuesdays**, **a recap of the expenses is sent for missing receipts (by email and Slack, if your company Slack is linked to Spendesk)**.  
Account owners and Admins can set the day and time of this notification for the team.
* On **Friday**, **requesters receive an update of the expenses validated or refused by the Finance team or Team approvers (by email).**
