## Channels

Toggle **Email notifications** on or off using the switch. When enabled, ClearSpend sends renewal reminders and alerts to the configured recipients.

## What you'll be notified about

Notifications cover three kinds of events, all delivered to whichever channels you've turned on:

* **Upcoming renewals:** heads-up before a subscription auto-charges.
* **Monthly summary:** a list of every subscription renewing in the current month, sent at the start of each month.
* **Document requests:** a notification to the recipient when someone asks them to upload a missing invoice via [Request documents](/features/subscription-detail#requesting-missing-invoices).

## Renewal reminders

Choose any combination of:

* **1 day** before the renewal
* **3 days** before
* **7 days** before
* **15 days** before

You can pick more than one. Many teams use 7 days for planning and 1 day as a final check.

## Monthly summary

At the start of each month, ClearSpend sends a summary of every subscription scheduled to renew during that month. Each row includes the vendor, amount, and renewal date so you can review the full month's renewals without logging in.

## Slack

Slack is connected from **Integrations**, not this tab. Once connected, the workspace **Owner** receives renewal alerts in Slack as well as email.

See [Slack integration](/connect/slack-integration) for the connect flow and [Subscription notifications](/features/subscription-notifications) for message examples.

## Recipients

Add or remove email addresses that should receive renewal alerts. The Owner is always included by default.

<Tip>
  Add a shared finance alias as a recipient so renewal alerts route to whoever's on rotation, not just one person.
</Tip>

## What the emails look like

See [Subscription notifications](/features/subscription-notifications) for screenshots and details of each email template ClearSpend sends.
