# Notifications

Notifications tell your team when a Run finishes. Create them under **Settings → Notifications**, in **Live Updates**, **Passed Run**, or **Failed Run**, then choose where the update should go and which **Run Types** should trigger it.

## Channels

| Channel                                                  | Use it to                                                                                                        |

## What every notification shares

Each rule has a **Title**, a destination for that channel, and **Run Types**:

| Run Type      | Covers                                                                      |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| User          | Runs started from DoesQA                                                    |
| CI/CD Webhook | Runs started from CI/CD                                                     |
| Schedule      | Runs started by a Schedule                                                  |
| Child Runs    | Runs started by a [DoesQA Run](/test-steps/express/doesqa-run.md) Test Step |

If **CI/CD Webhook** is selected, you can limit the rule to **All Keys** or specific **CI/CD Keys**.

Start a new Run after you change a notification rule. Changes apply to Runs that start after you save.
