# What triggers a notification

> Every notification category, in both scopes, and exactly what fires it.

<Note>
  **Quick summary**

  * **Personal Notifications** has 6 categories, from a scheduled digest to comment activity. **Organisation Notifications** has 3, admin-set and workspace-wide.
  * *Trust Page Requests* and *Incidents* appear in both scopes. *Checklist reminders* is organisation-only, and all others are personal-only.

## Personal Notifications

| Category | Triggers |
| - | - |
| **Upcoming and Overdue Summary** | A scheduled digest of what's coming up or overdue across Frameworks, Documents, Tasks and Checklists, not a per-event notification |
| **Comments and Mentions** | *Comment Mentions*, *Comment Replies* |
| **Document Activities** | *Document Review Requests* |
| **Document QMS Activities** | *Review Requests*, *Approval Requests*, *Review Failed*, *Approval Failed*, *Document Approved* |
| **Trust Page Requests** | *Trust Page Requests*, *Trust Page Request Responses* |
| **Incidents** | *Staff Reported Incidents*, *Trust Page Reported Incidents*, *Workspace Incidents* |

*Document Activities* covers only being asked to review a document; *Document QMS Activities* is separate, covering the approval lifecycle once you're in it.

## Organisation Notifications

| Category | Triggers |
| - | - |
| **Checklist reminders** | A recurring email to everyone in the workspace about their overdue and upcoming assigned checklists, which a workspace admin turns on |
| **Trust Page Requests** | *Trust Page Requests*, *Trust Page Request Responses* |
| **Incidents** | *Staff Reported Incidents*, *Trust Page Reported Incidents*, *Workspace Incidents* |

<Tip>
  **What we recommend**

  Any category not in this table is personal-only: set it in your own [personal notification settings](/notifications/personal-notification-settings).
</Tip>

[Access requests and who can see what](/trust-centre/access-control) covers the Trust Page Requests event, in either scope, in more depth. Updating a published document and notifying the people who hold it is a separate workflow: see [Notify stakeholders of updates](/trust-centre/updates-and-notifications).
