# Community Settings - Notifications
> Configure push, in-app, and email notifications for Community features.
**Community notifications** keep you and your members informed about activity across your Community — from Channel messages and Challenge updates to Meetup reminders and Live Room alerts. You control how notifications are delivered (push, in-app, or email), and your members can further personalize their preferences from their own profile settings.
This page covers the types of notifications available, how to configure them at both the individual and Community level, and how to customize your Community email branding.
## Understanding Community notifications
Community notifications are delivered in three ways:
* **Emails** — Sent to the member's email address
* **In-app notifications** — Appear in the notification center within the Community
* **Mobile push notifications** — Sent to members using the mobile app
Notifications are managed at two levels:
* **Community level** — You set defaults for all members in **Community Settings**
* **Individual level** — Each member adjusts their own preferences in their profile settings
When a member joins your Community, all notifications are enabled by default. Members can then customize their preferences at any time. If you disable a notification type at the Community level, members will see that setting grayed out and cannot reactivate it.
## Notification types by Community feature
The following charts show which notification types are available for each Community feature. You and your Moderators, Administrators, and Community members can customize and receive these notifications.
### Channels & DMs
### Challenges

### Channel notification type & frequency
You can change how often and what type of notifications you see for each Channel by selecting the radio buttons next to each Channel name:
* **All** — Get notified every day about all messages in a Channel, including announcements, mentions, meetups, and polls
* **Mentions** — Receive a notification every time your profile name is mentioned in a channel
* **Muted** — Opt out of all notifications for a specific Channel
## Community email notifications
