Manage notifications
Snyk automatically notifies you when new issues are found in the Projects you are monitoring. These notifications can help make you aware of new risks in these Projects.
Notifications can be sent:
- By email, if you have not disabled these in your notification settings. Note: setting a Project to inactive will not stop Snyk from sending notifications, you must disable notifications separately for that Project.
Snyk also sends you a weekly update summarizing your security status across all of your Organizations.
Snyk offers notifications for:
- vulnerabilities
- license issues
- weekly summary report
- usage alerts
- report status
FedRAMP environment notifications
Both issue alert emails and weekly report emails are disabled for FedRAMP environments. Their respective notification settings may be hidden from the page.
Snyk includes a range of controls to manage your own notifications.
