Settings — Notifications
Pick which alerts get sent, where they go (email / in-app / push), and how to escalate the urgent ones.

The Notifications tab in Settings is where you turn channels and triggers on or off and configure escalation rules. Configured once, it applies to every member of the account; individual users can override their own channel preferences from their Profile.
