# Managing Notifications

Recipients of a given alert are notified both in the Sight Machine platform and via email notifications.

## Email Notifications

In an email notification, you are provided with the full details of the incident as well as some additional actions. You can click any of the following:

- **Investigate:** When available, you can go back into the application (such as SPC) at the time of the incident, with all selection criteria prepopulated.
- **Manage Alert:** You are redirected to the alert’s configuration to make changes or unsubscribe.
- **Full Incident History:** You are redirected to the **All incidents** page with the alert prefiltered. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/c65001f1-30e3-4f1d-b335-57abf64ebd31/Images/Documentation/91f2f711-2235-49aa-ab03-105f99934fb9.png)

## In-App Notifications

You are also notified of incidents via in-platform notifications. When a new in-platform notification is received, the alerting icon has a red notification in the top corner.
