Notifications

Know when something important happens -- without notification noise.

Every event, from a completed fix to a site going down, shows up in the dashboard's notification bell. Email is reserved for a short, deliberate list of genuinely new and critical problems -- not every routine action you or an automated repair already took.

How an event becomes a notification

Something happensA scan completes, a repair fails, a site goes down, a vulnerability is matched -- any notify-worthy event.
It's always recordedEvery event writes to the organization's notification history, visible in the bell, regardless of category.
Category decides email eligibilityOnly the fixed list of genuinely critical, new-problem categories is ever eligible to also send an email.
Duplicate protection appliesA short safety-net window prevents an accidental duplicate call from firing the same notification twice in quick succession.

Repair playbook

1

Something happens

A scan completes, a repair fails, a site goes down, a vulnerability is matched -- any notify-worthy event.

2

It's always recorded

Every event writes to the organization's notification history, visible in the bell, regardless of category.

3

Category decides email eligibility

Only the fixed list of genuinely critical, new-problem categories is ever eligible to also send an email.

4

Duplicate protection applies

A short safety-net window prevents an accidental duplicate call from firing the same notification twice in quick succession.

In-app notification history, always

Every notify-worthy event -- a completed fix, a quarantined file, a repair failure, a connector disconnect -- writes to the notification bell unconditionally, with a read/unread count.

Email reserved for genuinely new problems

Email only fires for a short, fixed list of events: the site going down, the connector disconnecting, malware detected, a critical vulnerability, a critical health issue, or a trial/billing problem.

Routine outcomes stay in-app only

A fix completing, a file being quarantined after you clicked Quarantine yourself, a repair failing on a retry -- these are expected outcomes of actions already visible on screen, not surprises worth an email.

One click to the source

Clicking a notification marks it read and, where it's about a specific action, takes you straight to the website or issue it concerns.

A brief on-screen alert for urgent events

Alongside the persistent bell, a genuinely urgent event also shows a short toast that fades on its own -- noticeable in the moment without requiring the bell to already be open.

The policy in plain terms

You'll never get an email just for clicking a button yourself

Site-down, malware, and critical vulnerability events always email

Every event is still visible in-app, regardless of email eligibility

No separate settings screen full of toggles to configure correctly first

Practical guidance

Go deeper before changing a live site.

FAQ

Common questions

Will I get an email every time an auto-repair runs?

No. A completed repair -- automatic or manual -- shows up in-app only. Email is reserved for the fixed list of critical, new-problem events.

What happens if the same repair fails repeatedly?

Every attempt still shows up in-app, but repeated failures of the same action don't each trigger a separate email -- avoiding exactly the kind of notification pile-up a retry loop would otherwise cause.

Can I customize which events send email?

The email-eligible category list is intentionally fixed and conservative rather than user-configurable per event type, so the policy stays predictable across every organization.

Do notifications work the same way inside the WordPress connector?

The connector shows its own site-specific high-alert banner directly in wp-admin for critical issues on that site, in addition to the SaaS dashboard's notification system.
