# Personal Notifications

> Your own feed — mentions, replies, and updates to the things you follow, delivered in-app or by email.

Personal Notifications keep you on top of what's yours: when someone pulls you into a conversation, or something you're following changes. They're per-user — your settings are yours alone, separate from [Automations](/automation), which send results to a shared Slack channel or the members you choose.

Manage them in **Settings → Notifications**.

## What you get notified about

Two kinds of events:

* **Mentions & replies** — when someone @mentions you or replies to a thread you're part of, so a comment aimed at you doesn't sit unseen.
* **Subscribed record updates** — when anything you're subscribed to changes. You're subscribed automatically to things you create — like a [Doc](/docs) you started — and you can follow others to track their progress.

## How you get them

Each event type can reach you on either channel, independently:

* **In-app** — the notification bell inside Lane.
* **Email** — sent to your account email address.

Toggle each combination on or off — for example, email for mentions but in-app only for subscribed updates. Turn a row off entirely to stop those notifications on both channels.

## FAQs

**Q: How is this different from Automations?**\
A: Personal Notifications are your own feed — mentions and subscribed updates. [Automations](/automation) are jobs Lane runs for the workspace, posting each result to a [Slack](/slack) channel or emailing the members you choose.

**Q: What am I subscribed to?**\
A: Automatically to things you create, such as Docs you start. You can also subscribe to others to follow their updates.

**Q: Where do email notifications go?**\
A: To your account email address.
