# Notifications

The settings in this chapter only affect the notifications you receive in the eliona app or through your web browser. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Would you like to manage the notifications that are sent via SMS/email/Slack, etc.? 

Information about this can be found in the chapter [-> Escalation](/collection/english-v14/documentation/alarms-rules-and-escalations/escalations.md)
{% endhint %}

## What are notifications?

Notifications inform you about various processes in eliona.

Notifications should not be confused with [alarms](/collection/english-v14/documentation/alarms-rules-and-escalations/alarms.md), [escalations ](/collection/english-v14/documentation/alarms-rules-and-escalations/escalations.md)or [Tickets](/collection/english-v14/documentation/tickets.md). 

## Types of notifications

When this document refers to "notifications," it means 2 types of notifications:

1. Internal notifications
2. Push notifications through your web browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox)

### Internal notifications

Internal notifications appear in the Eliona interface. 

Internal notifications are announced by a marker in the title bar **\[A],** a visual hint **\[B]**  and a notification sound.

### Push notifications – notifications through your web browser

Push notifications are notifications that are issued by your web browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox).&#x20;

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/66e0acebd1d7504ced7345dbfff109e69773da01" alt=""><figcaption><p>A push notification in Google Chrome</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The advantage of push notifications is that you can also see these notifications when you are not actively using eliona.&#x20;

## 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.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/notifications.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.
