Managing Notifications
- Pause notifications: Go to 'Do Not Disturb' mode or set custom quiet hours
- Filter by channel: If you manage multiple channels, customize notifications per channel
- Mobile settings: Enable push notifications in your mobile app settings
Best Practices
- Start broad, then refine: Get all notifications initially, then turn off what you don't need
- Use quiet hours: Avoid after-hours interruptions
- Set meaningful thresholds: Don't alert on every view
- Enable push for critical: Milestones and urgent issues
Set a weekly email digest rather than real-time emails to avoid notification fatigue. Reserve push notifications for milestones that genuinely excite you — like hitting 10K views on a single video.
