Notification Preferences
Configure how and when Evergreen sends you email notifications
Evergreen sends email notifications for key project events. You can control notification frequency at two levels: account-wide defaults and per-project overrides.
Where to Find Notification Settings
- Account-level defaults — Go to Settings > Notifications under your organization or personal account. These apply to every project unless overridden.
- Project-level overrides — Navigate to your project, then go to Settings > Notifications. These settings apply to that project only and take precedence over account defaults.
Notification Categories
| Category | What triggers it | Available frequencies |
|---|---|---|
| Project Recaps | Recurring summary of crawl results, new content, and metric movement | Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Off |
| Critical Issues | Urgent issues detected that need immediate attention | Immediate, Hourly, Daily, Off |
| Integrations | Integration errors, disconnects, or status changes (e.g. GA4, GSC) | Immediate, Hourly, Daily, Off |
| Reports | Crawl completions and data exports ready for download | Immediate, Hourly, Daily, Off |
Frequency Options
- Immediate — Notification sent as soon as the event occurs (subject to quiet hours for non-critical categories)
- Hourly — Events are batched and sent at most once per hour
- Daily / Weekly / Monthly — Events are aggregated into a digest sent on that cadence
- Off — No notifications for this category
Timezone & Quiet Hours
Set your timezone so that digest emails arrive at a convenient local time. Evergreen observes quiet hours from 9 PM to 8 AM in your configured timezone — non-critical notifications are held and delivered after 8 AM. Critical Issues set to Immediate are always delivered immediately, even during quiet hours.
To set your timezone:
- Go to Settings > Notifications
- Under the Timezone section, select your timezone from the dropdown (or leave it on Auto-detect)
Disabling All Notifications for a Project
On the project-level notifications page, you can click Disable all notifications for this project to turn off every category at once for that project. This is useful for archived or low-priority projects.
How Account and Project Settings Interact
Account-level preferences act as the default for all projects. If you set a project-level preference, it overrides the account default for that project only. Projects with no custom settings inherit account defaults automatically.
