# Email Notifications

Use the **Notifications** tab to receive instant email alerts whenever a specific activity happens. Each notification rule is completely configurable and works with any Activity Type you enabled earlier.

**How to set up a rule**

1. **Activity** – Choose the activity you want to watch (User, Email, Media, Plugin, etc.).
2. **Status** – Narrow it down to a particular event under that activity, e.g. **User Login**, **Plugin Activated**, **Media Deleted**.
3. **User (username or ID)** – Enter a username or user-ID to monitor **one person only**. Leave blank to watch *all* users.
4. **Send Email To** – Type the address that should receive the alert. Leave blank if you don’t need an email (handy for rules you plan to trigger via [**Stats**](https://activitytrack.ai/docs/stats-reports/)).
5. **Email Send Limit** – Sets the maximum number of emails this rule can send per day. Leave blank for unlimited.
6. **Enabled** – Toggle on to activate the rule; toggle off to pause it without deleting.
7. Click **Save Notification**.

Need another alert? Hit **+ Add New** and repeat the steps.

> **Example:**

> *Activity:* **User**

> *Status:* **User Login**

> *User:* *(blank)* – monitors every user

> *Send Email To:* **security@yourdomain.com**

> *Email Send Limit:* **30**

> Result: You’ll get up to 30 login alerts per day, one for each successful login across the site.

Adjust or delete rules anytime—the changes take effect immediately.
