# Managing Your Notification Preferences

This article explains how to choose exactly which notifications you get, and how you get them.

## You're in control

CordLine can reach you in a few different ways, and you decide which. You might want a push notification the moment a supporter comments, an email for weekly summaries, and nothing at all for the rest. It's entirely up to you.

## The ways CordLine can reach you

- **Push** — instant alerts on your phone.
- **Email** — notifications sent to your inbox.
- **Text message (SMS)** — alerts by text, once you've added and verified your phone.
- **In-app** — notices you see when you open CordLine.

Not every notification offers every method, but where a choice makes sense, you'll see it.

## Adjusting your preferences

1. Open your settings from the menu.
2. Go to **Notifications**.
3. For each type of notification, turn the methods you want on or off.
4. Your choices save as you go.

## Tips for getting it right

- **Start broad, then trim.** Leave notifications on for a week, then turn off anything that feels like too much.
- **Keep the important ones.** Comments and prayers on your posts are worth knowing about promptly.
- **Some channels need setup first.** Text messages require a verified phone number, and push requires allowing notifications on your device.
- **Missionaries and supporters see different options,** matched to what each of you does on CordLine.

## If notifications feel like too much — or too little

Come back to this screen any time and adjust. There's no wrong answer — the goal is to stay connected in the way that works for you.
