Notifications are delivered through two channels: email and the in-dashboard notification center. ## Notification center The notification center is the bell icon in the top-right corner of your dashboard. It shows a count of unread notifications and opens a panel with your recent activity. Each notification includes: * A **severity indicator** (blue for info, amber for warnings, red for critical) * A **title** and short description * A **timestamp** showing when the event occurred * A **link** to the relevant resource (click to navigate directly) ### Managing notifications * **Mark as read** — Click any notification to mark it as read and navigate to the resource. * **Mark all as read** — Use the button at the top of the panel to clear all unread indicators. ## Email notifications CNAP sends email notifications to the workspace owner's email address. Emails include a summary of the event and a link to the dashboard. ## Notification types | Event | Severity | Description | | ------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Machine expiry (5 days) | Warning | CNAP-managed free tier machine will be deleted in 5 days | | Machine expiry (2 days) | Warning | Machine will be deleted in 2 days | | Machine expiry (24 hours) | Warning | Machine will be deleted in 24 hours | | Cloud credential invalid | Warning | A BYOM cloud provider API token failed hourly validation | ## Related topics Learn about CNAP-managed compute machines Compare plans and understand free tier limits
