## Subscribe to Notifications

You receive notifications for the objects you subscribe to, such as issues, procedures, runs, part kits, and purchase orders. See [Notification events](https://docs.firstresonance.io/automate-with-ion/notifications/view-notifications#notification-events) for the full list of objects and the events that notify their subscribers. ION subscribes you automatically when you:

- Create an issue, procedure, run, or part kit.
- Get assigned to one of these objects, including a purchase order.

## Subscribe or unsubscribe yourself

On an object, select the bell to **Subscribe**. Once you’re subscribed, the bell becomes **Unsubscribe**; select it to stop receiving that object’s notifications. Subscribing to a run also notifies you of its run-step changes and comments, so you don’t need to subscribe to each step separately. When an issue is created from a run step, that run’s and run step’s subscribers are subscribed to the new issue as well.

## Add or remove other subscribers

Next to the bell, select **Subscribers** to open the people list, then add or remove users to control who gets the object’s notifications.

A notification addressed to you personally goes only to you, not to the object’s other subscribers. This covers assignments, requests to approve, review, or sign off, and `@`-mentions. Everything else, such as comments, status changes, and releases, goes to all of an object’s subscribers. An object can also be assigned to a team instead of a person; the team’s members then receive its assignment, sign-off, and approval-request notifications.
