# Notifications

RespireBien sends you automatic notifications so you never miss an appointment or a reminder. You get them by **email**, **push** (straight to your device), or both — and you choose exactly what and how.

## Where to configure them
All notifications are controlled from a single place: **Settings** > **[Notifications](/settings/notifications)**. Each notification type has a row, with two columns — **Email** and **Push** — that you turn on or off with a toggle. Changes are saved instantly.

> For **push** notifications you need to install the app on your mobile phone. See the **[Mobile app](/help/mobile_app#installation)** guide.

## Email or push
- **Email** lands in the inbox (yours or the client's) and works anywhere, without the app being open.
- **Push** appears straight on the device (phone or desktop), as a short notification. It reaches only you, never clients.

The “—” dash in the grid means that channel doesn't exist for that notification.

> Push notifications only work after you allow them in the browser. When you turn on the first **Push** toggle, the browser asks for permission; if you grant it, the device subscribes automatically. See also the **[Mobile app](/help/mobile_app)**.

## Notification types

### Your appointments
Alerts you about your own sessions: one notification the day before and one 15 minutes before. Available by **email** and **push**.

### Clients' appointments
They send the client, on your behalf, a reminder for their session — one the day before and one 15 minutes before. By **email** only, because push notifications reach only you.

### Reminders with a date
They remind you of a **[reminder with a date](/help/reminders/with_due_date)** 15 minutes before the set time. Available by **email** and **push**.
