Stay informed about your channel's performance with customizable notifications.

Notification Types

In-App Notifications

These appear in the notification bell icon in your dashboard: Video milestone alerts, New comments (Pro+), Competitor updates, Report completions, System announcements.

Delivered to your registered email: Daily/weekly performance summaries, Significant metric changes, Team activity, Billing reminders.

Push Notifications (Mobile)

Real-time alerts on your phone: Milestone reached, Viral video detection, Critical issues.

Setting Up Notifications

Step 1: Access Settings

Click your profile > Settings > Notifications.

Step 2: Choose Notification Categories

  • Performance Alerts: Video milestones, Subscriber milestones, Unusual activity
  • Content Updates: New videos from competitors, Trending topics in your niche, Thumbnail performance
  • Team Activity: New team members, Report created/edited, Data exports
  • System: Maintenance windows, New features, Security alerts

Step 3: Set Thresholds

Customize when you're notified. Milestones: First 10 views, 100, 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M, 10M views, Custom milestones. Percentage changes: Alert when views change by X%, Daily, weekly, or monthly comparisons. Time windows: Business hours only, All day, Custom schedule.

Notification Channels

Feature comparison by plan: In-app notifications (Starter, Pro, Agency), Email digest (Weekly, Daily, Real-time), Push notifications (Pro+), Slack integration (Pro+), Custom webhooks (Agency only).

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.
