# Configure the topics you want to get notified about

**We all know that busy team chats can be sometimes exhausting when there are a lot of things happening in a lot of channels at the same time. Prose lets you reduce the amount of alerts you receive. This article explains how you can configure this.**

# Alert Options

The following alerting options are available to you, allowing you to receive more or less alerts:

* Get notified of all messages (this is the default).
* Only receive messages targeting myself (DMs and mentions in channels).
* Receive nothing (do not get any alert, not recommended!).

# Change Alert Options

To change how you want to get notified:

1. Open your Account settings (in the bottom left menu bar).
2. In Notifications, look for the Configuration section.
