Set up issue notifications and Critical Alerts

Learn how to set up issue notifications and Critical Alerts via the web app.

What are issue notifications?

We understand that not everyone needs to be involved in every single issue. That's why we've made it possible to customize the issue notification setting for each issue category, including how much detail will be sent through email, so selected users, groups, or site members only get notified when needed.

An issue notification as shown on the mobile app (iOS).

For issues of a significant nature, you can use Critical Alerts to notify individuals, even if their mobile device is muted or has Do Not Disturb mode enabled.

If you're not receiving notifications after setting up your notifications, please check whether push notifications for SafetyCulture are enabled on your mobile device and ensure that your inbox spam filter or firewall is not blocking emails from "notification@safetyculture.com".
