Get technical notifications
============================
Manage project and service notifications
=========================================

To stay up to date with the latest news about the services in a project, you can set up notifications for technical contacts for the project. If you don't add a technical email for a project, email notifications will still be sent to users with admin and operator roles.
To stay up to date with the latest information about services and projects, you can set service and project contacts to receive email notifications. Notifications include information about plan sizes, performance, outages, and scheduled maintenance.

Notifications include information about plan sizes, performance, outages and scheduled maintenance. High priority notifications (for example, a plan running out of space) are also sent to project admin users.
The contacts for a project can be set to the admin and operators of that project (this is the default), or to specific email addresses. Project contacts receive notifications about the project. They also receive the notifications for all services, unless you set a separate service contact for a service.

Set up email notifications

Service contacts by default are the project contacts. However, if you set other email addresses as service contacts for a service, email notifications will only be sent to those contacts for that specific service.

#. In the project, click **Settings**.

#. In the **Technical Emails** section, add the email addresses.
#. On the **Notifications** tab, select the project contacts that you want to receive email notifications.
