Important e-mails are sometimes lost in the crowd and overlooked by editors. This is especially true for e-mails outside of the workflow, dealing with particular cases etc. Notifications are here to prevent this! Nestor tracks e-mails tagged as "important" and highlights them in the recipient interface.

- In the home page, editors will retrieve important e-mails they have received via the notifications menu:

- In each article, they will retrieve them in the message history:

### Setting up notification bells

##### Automatic notification bells

Nestor can tag an e-mail as "important" as soon as the mail is sent. To do so, the template must be configured accordingly:

<table border="1" id="bkmrk--4" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><colgroup><col style="width: 99.8765%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>[![image.png](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/33Hok5KdYn198Q96-image.png)](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/33Hok5KdYn198Q96-image.png)</td></tr></tbody></table>

In this example:

- when the editorial office sends this message to an editor
- then, this message will be tagged with a bell in the recipient editor interface (in the message history).

##### Manual notifications

Regardless of the template configuration, notification bells can be set up manually on specific e-mails, when needed.

Note that an editor can see and uncheck important mails **if he/she is the recipient.** He cannot vizualize/uncheck notification bells on other e-mails (to other users). For example below, connected as Phil Palaeon, checking the message history of article jeos20220021. We observe notification bells appear only if I am the recipient:

- Second in the message history, the Editorial Office can check/uncheck any mail deemed important (even when the EO is not recipient):
