# Reminders and notifications

Get reminded before bills are due, decide which emails you receive and set different defaults per workspace.

Figa can remind you before a bill is due, on the day and when it is overdue, in the app and by email. You decide which reminders you get, and you can set them differently for each workspace.

## What Figa can tell you about

-   **Before due date**: a reminder a set number of days ahead.
-   **On due date**: the day the bill is due.
-   **Overdue expenses**: unpaid bills past their date.
-   **Missing amount**: a bill that still needs its amount, like a variable bill without an invoice.
-   **Role changes** and **Member changes** in a shared workspace.

## Set your defaults

Open **Account settings → Notifications**.

-   **Workspace email notifications** turns email for workspace events on or off.
-   **Default workspace preset** sets the starting level: **All**, **Important** or **None**. The expense topics can override it one by one.
-   **Days before due date** sets how early the reminder comes.
-   **Daily email time** and **Email time zone** set when the email arrives.

Figa sends at most one expense email per workspace per day, with all current reminders in it.

## Different settings for one workspace

Each workspace has its own notification settings, personal to you. Set a topic to **On** or **Off** for that workspace, or leave it on **Default** to follow your global settings. For example, keep every reminder for your home workspace and only important ones for a project.

## The notification center

In-app notifications collect in **Notifications**. You can see the current workspace or all workspaces, open the related expense, and **Mark all read**.

**Always sent**

Security, billing, invitation, export-ready and other required service messages are always active, even when workspace email is off.
