# Notification Preferences

> Learn how to configure email, SMS, and in-app notifications in VozAgent to stay informed about calls, team activity, and billing.

VozAgent can notify you about important events -- new calls, completed appointments, billing updates, and more. The **Notifications** tab in Settings lets you control exactly what notifications you receive and how they're delivered.

To access these settings, go to **Settings** in the sidebar and click the **Notifications** tab.

Each notification is controlled by a simple on/off toggle. Changes take effect immediately -- there's no save button needed.

## Email Notifications

The **Email Notifications** card controls which updates are sent to your account email. Each toggle has a title and description so you know exactly what you're subscribing to.

Available email notifications:

## SMS Notifications

The **SMS Notifications** card lets you receive instant text message alerts for important events. This is especially useful if you're out in the field and want immediate updates.

### Setting Up Your SMS Phone Number

Before you can receive SMS notifications, you need to enter your phone number:

1. In the **Phone Number for SMS** field, enter your phone number with country code (e.g., `+1 (555) 123-4567`).
2. The number is saved automatically when you leave the field.

### Available SMS Notifications

| Notification       | Description                                                         |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Call Summary**   | Get a text after each call with caller info and appointment status. |
| **Payment Failed** | Get alerted when a payment fails.                                   |
| **Low Balance**    | Receive a text when your account balance is low.                    |

SMS notifications are designed to be concise and focused on the most critical events, so you're not overwhelmed with texts while you're on the job.

## In-App Notifications

The **In-App Notifications** card controls the notifications you see within the VozAgent dashboard itself. These appear as banners or badges while you're using the platform.

Available in-app notifications:

| Notification          | Description                                       |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |

## Product & Marketing

The **Product & Marketing** card lets you control communications from the VozAgent team about the platform itself.

| Notification                        | Description                                               |

These are all optional. Turning them off will not affect any operational notifications about your calls, assistants, or billing.
