# Creating Notification Subscriptions

IT-Conductor Notification is based on the Subscription model where users subscribe to service elements to receive notifications on status changes and alerts related to the elements. The Subscriptions are created for individual Users, Groups, Roles, or Organizational Units.

### How to Subscribe to Email Notifications

1\. In the main menu, navigate to IT-Conductor Service Grid and choose the service element you want to subscribe to for notifications. Click on the service element icon to display the object menu and choose **Subscriptions.**

![Figure 1: IT-Conductor Service Grid View](https://377464071-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXhp08OmU8050PePmMgDt%2Fuploads%2FmvX7DaE1K3ozV5XncURS%2FSubscription.png?alt=media\&token=a9906b31-7e30-48b9-9e40-999cecfb6ae3)

2\. Click the **"Create New Subscription"** icon to subscribe for notifications

3\. Supply the necessary information to complete the subscription. Click the **"Finish"** icon to complete the process.

* Choose the **Subscriber Type** from the drop-down list. It includes your current user and all Groups, Roles, and Org Units assigned to the current user.
* Check **Recursive** if you would like to receive notification on all children of this service element.
* Check **Root Cause** if you only want to receive notifications on the [Thresholds](https://service.itconductor.com/help?itconductor.id=monitoring) that cause service status changes. This excludes notifications on Service/Sub-Service status changes.
* Specify the **Minimum Severity** of the Service Element when notification should take place.
* Optionally, select **Alert Class** and populate **Alert Criteria** for selective alert targeting (this is an advanced configuration option, please consult with support beforehand).
* Check **Alerts** if you need the alerts related to the Service Element (or all of its children if Recursive) to be forwarded as notifications.

4\. The Subscription details will be available in the list. You should start receiving notifications to your e-mail address within 15 minutes (for performance reasons, the subscriptions are cached and refreshed every \~15 minutes).

You can click on the **"Edit Subscribers"** icon to show the list of Subscription members.

### How to Check the Active Subscriptions

1\. In the IT-Conductor main menu, navigate to **Management > Notification > Subscriptions.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.itconductor.com/~/changes/j1RdUn49WBcajmJEmXUf/users-guide/notifications/creating-notification-subscriptions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
