Alta sends notifications when prospects reply, when something needs your approval, when scheduled reports are ready, and more. Your Notification Preferences page is the personal control panel for which of those reach you — and on which channel.
This guide walks through every setting on that page.
Who this is for
Anyone using Alta who wants to reduce notification noise, route alerts to email vs. the in-app bell, or scope prospect-engagement alerts to only the reps they manage.
Where to find it
Click your avatar in the top-right corner of Alta.
Select My profile.
In the left sidebar of User Settings, click Notifications.
You'll land on a page titled Notifications with two sections of toggles and one dropdown.
1. General — the master switch
The top row, labeled Preferences, controls whether Alta is allowed to notify you on each channel at all:
Email — when on, Alta can email you.
In app — when on, Alta can show notifications in the bell icon inside the app.
Turning a channel off here disables it everywhere, regardless of the per-workflow toggles below. If both are off, the Prospect engagement dropdown at the bottom of the page goes inactive.
2. Workflow — per-notification toggles
Below the master switch, you'll see one row per notification type that Alta supports — things like reply alerts, daily plan digests, manual-task approvals, and scheduled metric or dashboard deliveries. Each row gives you independent Email and In app switches.
Use this section to silence categories you don't care about while keeping others active. For example, you can turn off Email for the daily plan but keep In app on, so it lives in the bell but doesn't fill your inbox.
A toggle that appears greyed out means that channel isn't supported for that workflow — there's nothing wrong, the option just doesn't apply.
3. Prospect engagement — who triggers reply alerts
The dropdown at the bottom of the page scopes which prospect replies and engagements you get notified about:
All replies and engagements — get alerted on every prospect reply or engagement across the organization. Default.
Only for reps I own — only get alerted on activity tied to LinkedIn reps you're the owner of. Best for SDRs and account owners who want a tight, "my book of business" feed.
None — suppress prospect-engagement alerts entirely. Use when you rely on Slack routing or the Inbox itself and don't want personal pings.
This setting is independent of the workflow toggles above — it narrows the prospect-related notifications you'd otherwise receive based on the master + workflow switches.
Tips and common pitfalls
Changes save instantly. There's no "Save" button — flipping a switch or picking a dropdown option writes the change immediately.
This page is personal. Your settings here don't affect your teammates. Each person manages their own Notifications page.
Email channel off ≠ unsubscribed. Turning Email off in Preferences stops in-app driven notification emails, but transactional emails (invites, password resets, scheduled report deliveries you set up) still go out.
Prospect engagement won't react to a master-off state. If both Email and In app are off in the master row, the dropdown goes inactive — turn at least one channel back on to change the scope.
"Only for reps I own" needs rep ownership. You need to be set as the owner on at least one LinkedIn rep for this option to surface alerts. Set ownership from the rep's page in Settings → Reps.
This is different from Slack routing. Slack channel routing for replies, daily plan, and Manual Tasks is configured at the organization level in Organization Settings → Notifications and is shared across the team. The page covered here is your personal email + in-app inbox.
