Managing messaging notifications in the Admin Portal
====================================================

Admins and users can set up email and text notifications for when a new voicemail, fax, missed call, or text message has been received. If your account has the [AI Assistant](https://support.ringcentral.com/article-v2/Intro-to-the-RingCentral-AI-Assistant.html?brand=RingCentral&product=RingEX&language=en_US "") turned on, you can also set up email notifications to receive automatically generated call notes. Messaging notifications can be sent to multiple recipients at once.

You can manage your own notifications or update them for another user if you're an admin.
