# Manage Email Notifications
*This topic covers notifications that are sent to an individual's email address. If you are looking for organization-level notifications that are sent to an integration or plug-in, see* [*Manage Organization Notifications*](/workbench-setup/notifications/manage-organization-notifications.md)*.*
Workbench allows alerts, data, and other messages to be sent directly to an email address. You may set up as many email notifications as you wish, and Workbench Organization Admins can also set up email notifications on behalf of users in their organization.
{% hint style="info" %}
* You may also use [organization notifications](/workbench-setup/notifications/manage-organization-notifications.md) simultaneously.
* For more information about notifications, including a list of email notifications enabled by default, see [About Notifications](/workbench-setup/notifications/about-notifications.md).
* You may also set up an [email digest](/workbench-setup/get-started/manage-your-profile-and-user-account-settings.md#set-up-an-email-digest) that will send a daily or weekly summary of open actions assigned to your organization.
{% endhint %}
## Prerequisites
* If you wish to set up email notifications on behalf of other users, you must have Organization Admin permissions in Workbench.
## Add an Email Notification for Yourself
When you set up an email notification, you simply select a notification event that should be sent to the email address.
1. [Log in to Workbench](https://workbench.expel.io/auth/login?orig=%2F).
2. In the top right, select your initials and then select **Manage account**.
3. The My Profile page should display, with the **Email Notifications** tab selected by default.
{% hint style="info" %}
If it does not, navigate to **Settings > Organization Settings > My Profile** and select the **Email Notifications tab**.
{% endhint %}
4. Select **Add Notification**.
5. Complete the fields as follows:
* **Conditions** - select an event, and then select an action; some events may also allow you to add one or more conditions.
* **Notify via** - the email you have set up with Workbench displays here (the destination email cannot be changed on this screen).
* Select **Save** to activate the notification.
6. Repeat this process for any additional notifications you wish to set up for your email address.

## Manage Email Notifications for a User (Admins only)
If you have Organization Admin permissions, you can view and control email notifications for the users in your organization. You may wish to use this feature, for example, to set up appropriate notifications for new users during their onboarding.
1. [Log in to Workbench](https://workbench.expel.io/auth/login?orig=%2F).
2. Access your organization's user list by using the side menu to navigate to **Settings > Organization Settings > Users**.
3. Find the user whose notifications you wish to manage.
4. Use the arrow to the left of their name to select **View and edit**.
5. You are now on the user's My Profile page, and can follow the same instructions in this guide (begin at step 4 in each set of instructions) to:
* [Add an email notification](#add-an-email-notification-for-yourself)
* [Edit an email notification](#edit-an-email-notification-for-yourself)
* [Delete an email notification](#delete-an-email-notification-for-yourself)
6. Repeat this process for any additional users.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.expel.io/workbench-setup/notifications/manage-email-notifications.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
