# Notifications

Notifications tell you when something needs your attention so you don't have to watch the screen — a session finished, hit an error, asked a question, or needs permission to do something. Set them up at **Settings → OpenChamber → Notifications**.

## Turn them on

1. Open **Settings → OpenChamber → Notifications**.
2. Allow notifications when your browser or system asks.
3. Choose what you want to be told about:
   - a session **finishes**
   - a session hits an **error**
   - a session **asks a question**
   - a session needs **permission**
   - **subtasks** complete

## How they reach you

- on **desktop**, you get native system notifications
- in a **browser or installed app**, you get web push notifications, so they arrive even when the tab is in the background

Sessions set to auto-accept won't nag you with permission notifications.

## Customize the wording

Each kind of notification has a title and message template you can edit, using fields like the agent name and model. There's also a limit on how much of the last message is included, so notifications stay short.
