Agent Platform sends notifications across four event categories: agent updates, agent executions, organization skill changes, and Execution Guardrail results. Respond to agent changes and execution failures without checking execution logs.Notifications display in the Mark UI and, when configured, by email. Browser notifications can also extend in-app alerts to your desktop. No additional configuration is required, notifications are on by default for agents you own.

## Notifications tray

The notifications tray gives you quick access to recent notifications without leaving your current page. Click **Notifications** in the global header to open the tray. **Notifications** displays a red badge with your unread count.

The tray supports the following actions:

- Open a notification to go to the related content.
- Dismiss individual notifications.
- Mark all notifications as read.
- Click **View all notifications** to open the Notification Center.

See [Notifications tray](docId:18Kxkb2V7fk5IcZucYFji) for details.

## Notification Center

The Notification Center is a full-page view for browsing, filtering, and managing all notifications. Open it from the notifications tray or go to the **Notification Center** tab in the Mark navigation.

Notifications support two states:

- **Read** – A notification you have already viewed.
- **Unread** – A notification you have not yet viewed.

Interacting with a notification marks it as read. Mark all notifications as read or unread in bulk, or dismiss individual notifications you no longer need. Filter notifications by category, status, agent, priority, or time range using the filter bar.

See [Notification Center](docId\:Hsq4ZEuO6Oax0Xazb0il6) for details.

## Notification types

Mark delivers the following notification types:

**Agent updates**

- Agent modified
- Agent activated
- Agent deactivated
- Agent deleted

**Skill updates**

- Organization skill created
- Organization skill updated
- Organization skill deleted

**Agent executions**

- Chat agent completed
- Chat agent failed
- Automated agent completed
- Automated agent failed

**Guardrails**

- Guardrail warning
- Guardrail failed

Skill notifications alert you when a teammate creates, updates, or deletes an organization skill your agents depend on. You do not receive a notification for changes you make yourself.

Guardrail notifications alert you when an agent you created or watch produces a run outside its learned baseline. See [Configure Execution Guardrails](docId\:c-SaebPySbLwE08gOrngT) for how Mark builds the baseline.

See [Watch agents](docId\:c0RotUOJS1TL7lUaMnZYn) for how to subscribe to an agent and manage watchers.

## User roles

Notification visibility and delivery depend on your role in Mark. The following roles receive notifications:

- **Mark user** – Receives notifications for agent executions they initiated. See [Get started with Mark for users](docId\:L0Ntt9JQmG6fQIJK_Y7C7).
- **Agent builder** – Receives the same notifications as Mark users. See [Get started with Mark for agent builders](docId\:HOJ_6dibwNf8Qz7WMIDie).
- **Mark administrator** – Receives the same notifications as agent builders. See [Get started with Mark for administrators](docId\:pe0pbUJveWrG8ewvZWDRE).

## Notification preferences

Configure notification preferences to control which events trigger notifications and how Mark delivers them. Go to **Settings > Notifications** to manage your preferences. To receive desktop alerts when an in-app notification arrives, turn on **Browser notifications** in your Mark settings. See [Notification settings](docId\:spP_BR-KC5DqF-8Ihha7g) for instructions.
