Notifications are a crucial aspect of staying updated with the latest messages and activities on a server. However, managing notifications can become overwhelming, especially when dealing with multiple active channels or servers. To address this, various platforms offer customisation options for server notifications, allowing users to schedule and personalise their notification settings according to their preferences. For example, Discord enables users to adjust notification settings for specific servers and channels, providing granular control over alerts. Users can mute servers or individual channels, schedule mute durations, and customise notification preferences to suit their needs. Additionally, platforms like Discord and Palo Alto Networks provide features such as email alerts and the ability to configure notification schedules to help users stay informed without feeling inundated. These notification settings empower users to create a balanced and tailored notification environment, ensuring they receive the information they need without being overwhelmed by excessive alerts.

What You'll Learn
Customising notifications for specific channels
Discord has a "middle ground" setting between "show me everything" and "show me nothing". This setting allows you to pick and choose the channels you care about most, without being notified to visit the other channels. You can set that server to 'Mentions Only' and then select the channel with the announcements to 'All Messages'. Now you’ll get notified about that one channel, without getting overwhelmed by the rest of the server.
To adjust or fine-tune the notifications you receive from a channel or specific post, update your notification settings. You can select where, how often, and what notifications you want to get. All new posts will notify you each time someone starts a new conversation in the channel. Include replies will notify you when someone replies to a conversation. Channel mentions will notify you whenever someone @mentions the channel. You can also select how you receive your notifications. Banner and feed send notifications to your device, and Activity on the left side of Teams. Only showing in the feed skips sending notifications to your device. Instead, it only shows the activity feed.
In Slack, you can set notification preferences for specific channels and direct messages (DMs) with three or more people. You can choose to be notified about every new message, just mentions, or nothing in channels and DMs with three or more people. Open a channel or group DM, click the channel or member names in the conversation header, and then click the notifications drop-down menu. Choose your notification preference. Click the close icon in the top right when you're done.
In Android, you can create a channel for each type of notification you need to send. You can also create notification channels to reflect choices made by users. For example, you can set up separate notification channels for each conversation group created by a user in a messaging app. You can also create multiple notification channels in a single operation by calling createNotificationChannels().
In Palo Alto Networks, you can configure email alerts for System, Config, HIP Match, Correlation, Threat, WildFire Submission, and Traffic logs. You can use separate profiles to send email notifications for each log type to a different server. To increase availability, define multiple servers (up to four) in a single profile.

Muting entire servers
Muting an entire server on Discord is possible, and there are a few different ways to do it. One way is to right-click on the server icon in your server list and select "Mute Server" from the drop-down menu. This will stop notifications from appearing and prevent unread indicators from showing up next to channel names or servers. However, if you are mentioned specifically in a message, you will still receive a notification.
Another way to mute a server is through the server settings. Open your Discord server and navigate to the channel you want to mute. Click on the open channel's name to access the channel settings. In the settings, look for the "Mute Channel" or ""Notification Settings" option. Here, you can enable the option to mute the channel for all members, preventing notifications for everyone. Alternatively, you can configure specific notification settings for individual members or bots to customize their notification preferences.
It's important to note that muting a server does not allow you to pick and choose specific channels to mute or unmute within that server. If you want to mute multiple channels across different servers, you would need to do so individually for each channel. However, Discord does offer a ""Notification Overrides" feature that lets you control specific channels' notifications under the "Server Notification Settings."
While there is currently no universal "mute all servers" button, you can achieve a similar effect by using the "Do Not Disturb" mode, which mutes all notifications. Additionally, Discord allows you to set a hotkey to quickly enable and disable notifications when you need to focus without interruptions.

Suppressing @everyone and @here mentions
Discord has a new server notification settings feature that introduces a "middle ground" setting between "show me everything" and "show me nothing". This feature allows users to check channels on their own schedule, instead of being compelled to check them right away.
To suppress @everyone and @here mentions, follow these steps:
- Click on the server name to bring up the server drop-down menu.
- Click on "Notification Settings".
- Explore the channel notification settings list and click on the "Suppress @everyone and @here" option.
This setting functions on a per-server basis, so you can choose which servers you want to hear from. It is important to note that even if you mute a channel or an entire server, @everyone mentions will still bring up notifications. Therefore, suppressing these mentions can help you regain peace of mind and avoid information overload.
In addition to the above, Discord also allows you to customize your notifications for specific channels. To do this, go to the server where you want to adjust notifications and press the server name in the upper-left corner to open the drop-down menu. Select "Notification Settings" from the menu, and the Notification Settings menu will appear. Here, you can customize your notifications for that particular server.

Configuring email alerts
To configure email alerts for System, Config, HIP Match, Correlation, Threat, WildFire Submission, and Traffic logs, you can follow these steps:
Firstly, select the "Panorama" tab, not "Device". Then, configure a Server Profile by selecting Email and creating a new server according to your setup. You will find a Test connection button that will validate if the mail relay works. If it doesn't, you should resolve this before continuing.
Next, add an email server profile and enter a name. From the read-only window that appears, add the email server and enter a name. If the firewall has multiple virtual systems, select the location where the profile is available. You can also enter an email display name, which will specify the name displayed in the "From" field of the email.
Now, enter the email address from which the firewall will send emails, and the email address to which the firewall will send emails. If you want to send emails to a second account, you can enter this here, but you are limited to one additional recipient. For multiple recipients, add the email address of a distribution list. Finally, enter the IP address or hostname of the Email Gateway to be used for sending emails.
The next step is to select the type of protocol to use to connect to the email server. You can choose between Unauthenticated SMTP, which does not require authentication, or SMTP over TLS, which does. If you select the former, simply skip to the next step. If you select SMTP over TLS, you must configure TLS authentication. You can also specify the port to use to connect to the email server (the default is 587). Specify the TLS version (1.1 or 1.2) and select the authentication method.
As a best practice, configure transport layer security (TLS) to require the firewall to authenticate with the email server before the email is relayed. This helps prevent malicious activity such as SMTP relay, which can be used to send spam or malware, and email spoofing, which can be used for phishing attacks.
