# Configure Notifications

## Get email alerts and postbacks when Flows or payments change status. Set up via your PDCflow app.

Being notified about updates within your PDCflow account can help keep your business workflows proceeding smoothly.

There are two different ways you can receive notifications about PDCflow account updates like status changes and payments: Notifications and Flow Creator Notifications.

### Configure Notifications

When you use notification functionality, an email will be sent to the designated email addresses whenever a triggering event happens.

> ***Sample Email Use Case***  
> *Any time a credit card payment fails, automatically send an email to this email address so that our team can do what's next.*
> 
> ***Sample Postback Use Case***
> 
> *Any time a credit card payment fails, automatically send a postback to my platform so that my system can do what's next. *

### Notification Options

#### 1. Send Flow status notifications only to the person who created that specific Flow.

Send status emails to a Flow creator.

- **Events**: Opened and Completed, Disputed, Expired, or Failed
- **Use case**: Employee gets alerts only for *their* Flows
- **How to set up:** On the Dashboard, the employee sending the Flow request clicks "Yes" for "SEND ME AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION."   
  ![Send me an email notification YES](https://support.pdcflow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Send%20me%20an%20email%20notification%20YES.png?width=670&height=409&name=Send%20me%20an%20email%20notification%20YES.png)
