title: Notifications description: Choose which emails Ployz Cloud sends you, and turn one off from the email itself.
Ployz Cloud can email you when something needs you. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Account, then pick under Notifications which emails you get. Your choices are yours alone, and they apply in every organization you belong to.
Each kind of email has a row, set to Email or None:
- Uptime incidents: when a check goes down, and when it recovers.
- Failed GitHub deploys: when a deploy from a push or pull request fails, or Cloud loses track of it partway. The email names the service that failed and the commit GitHub deployed when it can tell, and links to the logs. A deploy you start yourself doesn't send one.
- Failed automatic upgrades: when an automatic server upgrade fails.
- Crashed services: when a service's replica exits with an error or runs out of memory. The email names the service and the Server, says how many times it crashed, and gives the last exit code. A service that keeps crashing sends at most one email an hour, with the crashes since the last one counted in. A stop, a restart or a Deploy you asked for doesn't send one.
Everything starts at Email. A change saves as you pick it.
Ployz Cloud sends all four kinds. An uptime email that couldn't go out within an hour of the check going down or recovering is skipped, not sent late.
Turn an email off from the email
Every email ends with a Turn off link for its kind, such as Turn off uptime emails. Click it and that row is set to None, with no sign-in. Your mail app's own Unsubscribe button does the same. To get the emails again, set the row back to Email on the Account page.
On a self-hosted Ployz Cloud
A self-hosted Ployz Cloud sends email only once its operator sets it up. Until then the rows show your choices but can't be changed, and the page says Email isn't set up on this Cloud.
