# Notifications

In the notifications section, you're able to customize which notifications you receive and how. Only the `Raffle won` notification by `Email and Push Notifications` are available for regular users, for all others you'll need a [premium-membership](../premium-membership "mention").

## Email notifications

If you'd like to receive notifications by email, or enter raffles that require a verified email address, you'll have to insert your email into the `Email address` field as shown below.

Once you type the email, the email icon left of the field will turn orange (if not after a few seconds, click on the email icon), indicating that the verification email has been sent. Simply open your email account and click on the link in the email to complete verification.

For added security, you are able to add your own anti-phishing code, so that you can make sure that all Alphabot emails you receive are authentic.

When verified, you can enable notifications by email for won raffles, a personalized daily minting schedule\*, and for when a mint goes live\* (30 minutes before mint time).

_\*The Daily and Minting notification options are for won raffles, external wins that you've added, and starred projects._

## Discord notifications

_As previously mentioned, you'll need a_ [premium-membership](../premium-membership "mention") _for the Discord notifications._&#x20;

You can enable Discord notifications for won raffles, a personalized daily minting schedule\*, and for when a mint goes live\* (30 minutes before mint time).

Before you can use the Discord notification option, you'll first have to make sure that the bot is able to send you DMs. It's best practice to keep your DMs closed, especially in a space like Web3 where there are many bad actors. We recommend creating a private Discord server ([here's how](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/204849977-How-do-I-create-a-server-)), inviting Alphabot to it using [this link](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=962140425332850729\&permissions=268594256\&scope=bot%20applications.commands) (or click on the bot in Discord and on "invite to server"), and then opening your DMs _just_ for that server. You can then test if it's set up correctly by clicking on the `Test Discord Notification` button as shown above.&#x20;

## Push Notifications

**In-app push notifications** are also enabled! Get real time notifications for raffle wins, daily tracked launches, and mint reminders. Browser push notifications work on both desktop or mobile for all alphabot users.

## Include un-vetted projects

Additionally, Premium members have the option to include un-vetted projects in their reminders.

⚠️ **Warning!** Enabling this setting will include projects that have not been approved by the Alphabot data maintenance team. These projects will be visible on the Calendar and Project List pages, and you will receive notifications for them. They will NOT be included in the general public daily Discord project launch announcement.
