# Flow Service Notifications: Setup Guide

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

### 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."
