# Notifications

The **Notifications** page gathers the automatic emails Vivlab sends you about your store: the summary of each bank payout, the replies to your site's forms, the offers on your subscription and low stock alerts.

Come here to keep only the emails you actually use, whenever your inbox overflows, you want a warning before a product runs out of stock or you prefer to check some information directly in the dashboard.

Each of these emails includes a **Gérer vos préférences de notification** link in its footer, which brings you straight back here. After any change, click **Save**.

## Payouts from your sales

For every payout of your sales to your bank account, Vivlab sends you an email with the detailed payout report attached: the same document available in [**Payouts**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/payouts.md), ready to forward to your accountant.

This email is enabled by default. Disable **Receive the payout email** if you prefer to track your payouts from the dashboard only: the [**Payouts**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/payouts.md) page keeps filling up as usual.

## Your site's forms

When a visitor fills in a contact form on your site, you receive an email with all their answers. Their address is set as the reply-to recipient: answer directly from your mail client.

This email is enabled by default. Disable **Receive replies by email** if you handle requests another way: every submitted form stays recorded in your [**Contacts**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/contacts.md), nothing is lost.

## Offers and promotions

When a discount is available for your Vivlab subscription, an email announces it with the code and its validity date. The code is applied automatically when you subscribe from the dashboard.

This email is enabled by default. It only concerns your own subscription, never your customers. Disable **Receive promotional offers** if you no longer want these offers.

## Stock alert

This alert warns you when a product reaches a stock level you define, giving you time to restock before it runs out. The email lists the products concerned and their remaining stock.

This alert is enabled by default with an **Alert threshold** of 0: you are warned as soon as a product runs out of stock. Raise the threshold in units to be alerted earlier, or disable **Receive a low stock alert** if you track your stock another way.

As soon as an order brings a product's stock to the threshold or below, the email goes out immediately. It is only sent at the moment the threshold is crossed: further orders on a product already at the threshold do not trigger another email.

The threshold applies to each variant of your [products](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/products.md): a specific variant (size, colour) can trigger the alert even if the others remain well stocked. Products with unlimited stock are never concerned.
