# Notifications and emails

## The notification bell

The bell sits at the top of the left menu, next to the logo. A red number shows unread notifications.

- Click the bell to see your latest 10 notifications.
- Click a notification to open the post or page it is about. It is marked as read.
- Click **Mark all read** to clear the count.
- When there is nothing new, you see **You're all caught up**.

The bell updates when you open another page, not while you stay on one page.

## What you get notified about

| Event | Notification | Email too? |
|---|---|---|
| A post published on all its channels | **Your post was published** | No |
| A post failed on some channels | **Your post partially published** | Yes |
| A post failed on every channel | **Your post failed to publish** | Yes |
| A channel lost access | **Reconnect …** | Only if posts are scheduled to that channel |

Emails about failed posts list every failed channel with its error, and have a **View this post** button.

## Act on a failed post notification

Click the notification. The post's details open, with the reason next to each channel. Then follow [When a post fails](/help/manage/failed-posts).

## Act on a reconnect notification

Click the notification. **Connected Accounts** opens. Reconnect the channel — see [Reconnect or disconnect a channel](/help/channels/fix-or-disconnect).

If you click a notification about a post you already deleted, you see **That post no longer exists.**
