# Notifications
Stay up to date on Actions and Mentions via the notification window.
Whenever you are assigned an [action](/boards/actions.md) or [mentioned](/boards/mentions.md) in a board a red unread count will appear on the notification (bell) icon.
Opening this view will show you who sent the notification, what type of notification it is and give you a preview of what was said.
Click the link of a mention to be taken directly to the board and object where the mention was created.
Clicking on an Action notification will take you directly to the Action Items Dashboard and highlight the notification you clicked on.
### Notification settings
To adjust your notification settings, open Your Settings from the profile menu and choose Notifications. You can turn each of these on or off:
| Setting | What it does |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Show Unread Notifications | Shows the count of unread notifications on the bell icon |
| Assigned Action Email | Emails you when someone assigns you an action |
| Daily Action Email | A daily email listing your actions that are due today |
| Weekly Action Email | A weekly email listing your actions due that week, plus overdue ones |
| Mention Email | Emails you when someone mentions you |
You can also clear all of your notifications from the same screen.
You are not notified about actions you assign to yourself, or when you mention yourself.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.spreo.io/boards/notifications.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
