## Notification Preferences

Under the [Notifications](https://app.usepylon.com/settings/notifications) page, customize which notifications you'd like to receive and where you'd like to receive them. You can also access them from both the profile and settings menus in the bottom left corner of your screen.

Notifications are grouped into tabs: **Issues**, **Projects & tasks**, **Knowledge base**, **Feature management**, and **Connectors & tools**. For each event, choose whether to be notified **In-app**, in **Slack**, with a **Desktop** notification, or by **Email**. Turn on **Enable Sound** to play a sound for in-app notifications.

Issue notifications you can configure:

* I'm assigned an issue by a teammate
* I'm assigned an issue by triggers or assignment rules
* I'm mentioned in an internal note
* New customer message on an issue I follow
* New message from your team on an issue I follow
* Issue that I follow is unsnoozed
* Issue that I'm assigned to breached SLA

In-app notifications will show up under your notifications tray, accessible via. the Bell icon on the top left. The tray has **All**, **Unread**, and **Mentions** tabs, and a **Mark all read** button.

{% hint style="info" %}
If Desktop notifications are on but you aren't seeing them, check that your browser allows notifications from Pylon.
{% endhint %}

## Signatures

If you'll be sending emails from Pylon, consider setting up an email signature on your [Profile](https://app.usepylon.com/settings/profile) page. The signature will get automatically appended in the editor when you're replying to emails.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.usepylon.com/pylon-docs/getting-started/user-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
