<Info>
  **Note:** While you can choose to receive in-app notifications for the different kinds of communication, we are currently only sending in-app notifications that require you to take an action (e.g. accept/deny invitations to join projects).
</Info>

<Note>
  **Tip:** We highly recommend turning on notifications (either by email or in-app) so you do not miss important communication.
