# How do you set up volunteer notifications?

You can choose which notifications you want to receive by turning them on. Currently, the only available notification is the event start reminder. By default, all notifications are enabled. 

To receive push notifications, ensure you have the [POINT](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/point-volunteer-near-you/id1173737657?ign-mpt=uo%3D4) mobile app installed and are registered and signed in. Allow notifications from the [POINT](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pointapp.point) app on your mobile device to stay updated on all the latest information.

### Setting up notifications in the web version:

1\. On the volunteer view dashboard please navigate to the Notifications page.  
2\. Find the "Notification Settings" button in the upper right corner and click on it. 

3\. Decide what volunteer notifications you receive from POINT. To receive a notification turn it "on" or to stop receiving a notification turn it "off".
