Manage notifications
Snyk notifies you automatically when new issues are found in the Projects you are monitoring to alert you to new possible new risks in these Projects.
Snyk can send notifications in the following ways:
Snyk also sends you a weekly update summarizing the security status across all of your Organizations.
Snyk offers notifications for:
- vulnerabilities
- license issues
- weekly summary report
- usage alerts
- report status
Setting a Project to inactive does not stop Snyk from sending notifications. You must disable notifications separately for that Project.
FedRAMP environment notifications
Both issue alert emails and weekly report emails are disabled for FedRAMP environments. Their notification settings may be hidden from the page.
An example follows of a Snyk notification for new issues and remediations in Projects in an Organization.

Example of a Snyk notification
Snyk provides controls to manage your own notifications. Administrators can manage the notification defaults for others in the Group or Organization.
You can also send notifications for an Organization to a designated Slack channel. For details, see Slack integration.
Define the notification settings at the Group level to define the template for how Snyk sends issue alert emails, weekly report emails, usage alert emails, and report status emails for Organizations created in that Group. You also have access to the default settings for existing individual Organizations at the Group level.
Changing the Group default settings does not change the settings for existing Organizations or Projects. Individual users can override the default notification settings.
