# Notifications

> Control which emails Pixwel sends you and how often — per event type, with the option to mute specific projects or asset types.

The **Notifications** tab in [Preferences](/features/preferences/overview) controls the emails Pixwel sends you. The master **Email Notifications** checkbox turns email on or off for your account — when it's off, every setting below is disabled.

For each kind of event, choose how often you want to be emailed:

| Frequency     | What it does                        |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Immediate** | Email as soon as the event happens. |
| **Hourly**    | Batched into an hourly digest.      |
| **Daily**     | Batched into a daily digest.        |
| **Weekly**    | Batched into a weekly digest.       |
| **Off**       | No email for this event type.       |

The event types you can set:

| Setting                               | Emails you when…                                                            |

<Tip>
  Below the frequency settings you can **mute specific projects or asset types** — pick them in the "notifications disabled" multi-selects to stop emails for just those, while keeping everything else on.
