User notifications alert you when various actions or activities occur in your account. You can set up and control the notifications you receive from HubSpot.
Super admins in Enterprise accounts can set default notification preferences for other users. If default notifications are set up, preferences set by individual users will take precedence over the defaults.
Please note: it is not possible to turn off certain user notifications (e.g. HubSpot Support or HubSpot Billing emails) due to the important account management details they provide.
Set up and turn off HubSpot notifications
To set up or turn off your HubSpot notifications:
- In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the top navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Notifications.
- Click the Email, Desktop, Other apps and Mobile app tabs to set the type of notifications you would like to receive.
- To turn on a notification, search for or expand the notification topics and select the notification checkbox. To clear all notifications, select Clear all preferences at the top of the What you get notified about section.
- To turn off a notification, search for or expand the notification topics and unselect the notification checkbox. You can also click the pop-up or bell notification, and select the ellipses icon to select Don't show me these again, Turn off sound, or Go to notification preferences.
Toggle the switch on to receive email notifications to your inbox.
Please note: users will not receive more than 1,000 email notifications, per notification type, per day. When a notification has been sent 1,000 times in the same day, to the same email address, any additional sends will be dropped.
Desktop
How you get notified
There are three different types of desktop notifications. Click to toggle the switch on or off for each of the following notification types.
- Bell: notifications will appear as a red badge on the bell in your navigation bar. Click on the bell to view your recent notifications. Select the checkbox to Display a red dot in your browser tab when you have unread bell notifications.
Please note: the notifications icon will appear in the browser tabs of favicon-supported browsers.
- Pop-up: notifications will appear on screen when you are logged in and active in your HubSpot account. You can set a different sound for each notification.
- Browser: notifications will be sent to your browser when you're not active in HubSpot, but your HubSpot account is open in another tab or window of the browser. For example, a notification will be triggered if you have two tabs open, one of which is HubSpot, but you're active in the non-HubSpot tab. Click Allow notifications to allow HubSpot to display notifications in your browser.
- If you log in to your HubSpot account in a different browser you'll need to enable notifications in the new browser.
- If you are unable to view notifications in your browser after clicking Allow notifications, you may also need to grant permission for notifications to display in your OS settings.
- To edit your Chrome sales notifications, modify your notification settings in the Chrome extension.
Set a different sound for each notification
You can select six different notification sounds on your desktop.
- In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the top navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Notifications.
- At the top, click the Desktop tab.
- In the Pop-up section, click the Sound selection dropdown menu to select a default sound for pop-up notifications. Click Play to preview the sound.
- In the What you get notified about section, click the notification to change the sound for it. Then, select the sound dropdown menu to select the sound. Click Play to preview the sound.

Push and in-app notifications will be sent to your mobile device. You can configure your notification preferences within the settings on your mobile app.
Types of notifications
Click on the notification groups to expand further or use the search bar in the top right to find the notification topic you want to edit. The following are the notification sections and what notifications they include:
- Academy: receive a notification when there's an update about your certifications, awards, and exercises.

- Chat and email conversations: receive notifications for chat and email conversations from the conversations inbox. Receive a notification when a conversation is assigned to you, reassigned to you, there is a reply on a conversation, when you're @-mentioning on a conversation, and when there is a new unassigned conversation in the inbox. Even if these notifications are turned on, a user will only receive a notification if they have previously navigated to the inbox. For users on a team with access to the inbox, only main members of the team will receive the unassigned conversation notifications.

There are also cases where an assignment notification will not be sent. You will not receive a notification if you:

- become the record owner due to a logged activity on the record, such as an email, call, or meeting.
- were assigned to a HubSpot user property on the record prior to the [Object] Owner assignment (e.g., if a custom property Contact creator exists with the HubSpot user field type and you were already set as the Contact creator before being set as the Contact owner, you won't receive a notification).
