# Set default notifications for new users

> Build the starting set of notification rules that new people get when they join your account.

A new teammate with no notification rules hears nothing from Liftify until they set some up themselves. Default notifications fix that: you build a starting set once, and everyone who joins the account gets a copy.

You need the **Manage Account Settings (details, branding)** permission to see this page.

## Open the page

1. In the left sidebar, click the circle with your initials, then **User Settings**.
2. Under **Company**, click **Notifications**.

The page is headed **Default Notifications** and explains itself: *"Configure default notification rules that will be automatically applied to new users when they join this account."*

Existing defaults are grouped by category, with a filter bar once there's more than a handful. With none set up you'll see **No default notifications yet**.

<Note>
  This is not the same page as the **Notifications** entry under **User** in the same menu. That one holds your own rules and affects nobody else. See [Set your notification rules](set-your-notification-rules).
</Note>

## Create a default

Click **Create Default**. The form is the same one you'd use for a personal rule:

1. Pick an **Event Category** and an **Event Type**.
2. Choose a **Frequency** — **Instantly**, **Daily digest**, **Weekly digest** or **Monthly digest**. For a digest, set the **Delivery Time**, and the **Day of Week** or **Day of Month** where they apply.
3. Set any **Filters** the event offers, such as locations, rating or review sources.
4. Click **Save**.

One difference from a personal rule: the delivery time is labelled *(user's local time)*, not yours. Each person who receives a copy gets it at that hour in their own timezone.

For the full field-by-field walkthrough, see [Set your notification rules](set-your-notification-rules) — the form is identical.

## Change or delete a default

Click a default to open it, edit it, and click **Save**. To remove one, click the trash icon and confirm: *"Are you sure you want to delete this default notification rule?"*

Editing or deleting a default changes what future joiners receive. It does not reach back and change rules that have already been copied to someone — those belong to that person now, and only they (or someone with the **Manage Users** permission) can change them.

## How the defaults reach a new user

When you invite someone, the invite form shows your defaults as a checklist, all ticked, under **Notification Defaults**: *"Select which default notification rules to copy to this user when they accept their invitation."*

Leave them all ticked to give the standard set, or untick the ones that don't suit this person. You can also add extra rules just for them under **Custom Notification Rules**. See [Invite users and assign roles](invite-users-and-assign-roles).

Once they're in, the copies are theirs to edit — the originals on this page stay untouched.
