Notifications > Raise more notifications within GitLab
### Notification levels The notification levels are with respect to the entire instance (global), a group, a project. And so they apply if the notification-generating object (issue/merge request/epic) is within that scope. There are also two special levels, `Manual override subscribe` and `Manual override unsubscribe`, which apply to the object itself. The levels are: - `Disabled` - `On Mention`: - You are considered mentioned with respect to an object's description, if you are mentioned in the description upon object creation (and not if the description is updated afterward). - You are considered mentioned with respect to a comment, if you are mentioned in the comment upon comment creation (and not if the comment is updated afterward). - `Participate`: You are considered a participant under these conditions. - You are the author of the object. - You are an assignee of the object. - You have been mentioned in the object description (upon object creation), or you have been mentioned in a comment (upon its creation). - `Watch` - `Custom` - `Manual override subscribe`: Subscribe manually via the object sidebar toggle, overriding the existing notification level. - `Manual override unsubscribe`: Unsubscribed manually via the object sidebar (or clicking the unsubscribe link in an email notification), overriding the existing notification level. ### Own activity - By default, you do not get notifications for events in which you have originated. - If this global-only (and per-user) configuration is set, you _do_ get notifications for events in which you have originated. ### API API for all settings. ### To create issues - Pipeline pass/fail notifications - Merge request in conflict notification - Project / group membership notifications - Yourself user account notifications - Issue moved notification - Approvals/approvers <!-- triage-serverless v3 PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS SECTION --> *This page may contain information related to upcoming products, features and functionality.
