# Manage Your Email and In-App Notifications on Do Donate

> Control which emails and in-app alerts Do Donate sends you, including donation confirmations, campaign updates, and promotional messages.

Do Donate sends you notifications to keep you informed about activity on your account, your campaigns, and the causes you support. You can customize which notifications you receive so your inbox and in-app alerts stay relevant to you — without the noise you don't need.

## Types of notifications

Do Donate delivers notifications through two channels:

### Email notifications

* **Donation received** — sent to campaign owners when someone donates to their campaign.
* **Campaign updates** — sent to donors when a campaign they have contributed to posts a new update.
* **New donor milestone** — sent to campaign owners when their campaign reaches a supporter milestone.
* **Weekly digest** — a summary of activity on campaigns you follow or manage.
* **Promotional messages** — news, featured campaigns, and platform announcements from the Do Donate team.

### In-app notifications

In-app notifications appear in the bell icon in the top navigation bar. They cover real-time activity such as:

* New donations to your campaigns
* Comments and reactions on your campaigns or posts
* Replies to comments you have left
* Status changes to campaigns you follow

## How to update your notification preferences

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Account Settings">
    Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select **Account Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to the Notifications tab">
    Select the **Notifications** tab from the settings menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle notifications on or off">
    You will see a list of notification categories for both email and in-app alerts. Use the toggles to turn each type on or off according to your preferences.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Click **Save Preferences** at the bottom of the page to apply your selections.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Unsubscribing from marketing emails

If you no longer want to receive promotional emails from Do Donate, you can opt out in two ways:

* **From Account Settings** — go to **Account Settings > Notifications** and turn off **Promotional messages**.
* **From any marketing email** — scroll to the bottom of the email and click **Unsubscribe**. This removes you from all marketing communications immediately.

<Note>
  You will always receive transaction confirmation emails for donations you make, regardless of your notification settings. These transactional emails — including donation receipts and payment confirmations — are required for your records and cannot be disabled.
</Note>

Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional notifications such as donation receipts, password reset emails, or security alerts. Those will continue to be sent to ensure your account stays secure and your giving history remains accessible.
