# Participant alerts

Source: https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/console/asset-lifecycle/venues/participant-alerts
Choose which kinds of alert reach every venue's participants by email when they have made no choice of their own.

The **Participant alerts** tab sets which email alerts a participant gets until they choose their own under "Notifications" in the Investor portal. The defaults belong to the organisation and cover the participants of every venue, so a change made here reaches all of them.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

- **A wallet that operates a venue.** The "Participant alerts" tab appears next to the venue list only when one of your wallets operates a venue. An operator of any venue in the organisation can read the defaults.
- **Organisation owner or platform admin.** Only an organisation owner or a platform admin can change the defaults, because they cover the participants of every venue. For anyone else the switches are disabled and a note says so.
- **Your wallet verification.** Saving the defaults asks for it, like other venue changes.

## Steps [#steps]

### Switch the alert kinds [#switch-the-alert-kinds]

Open "Asset lifecycle", then "Venues", and select **Participant alerts**.

Turn each kind's "Email" switch on or off, then select **Save alert defaults** and confirm with your wallet verification. The switches change together, so one save applies every change you made. A kind left off sends no email unless a participant switches it on under "Notifications" in the Investor portal. Participants who have never set their own alerts follow these defaults.

Without an Investor portal URL, the platform sends no alert email, even when an organisation default enables it, because the recipient has no alert settings page to stop these emails. The delivery is not retried, and the alert stays in the participant's notification list on the Console.

## Alert kinds [#alert-kinds]

Each kind sends an email when:

- **Order filled**: an order fills or partly fills.
- **Other order changes**: an order expires, is cancelled by the venue, is rejected or is refused at entry.
- **Price alerts**: a price alert that the participant set triggers.
- **Announcements**: a venue publishes an announcement for an instrument the participant can see. With this kind off, a participant gets no email even for a Critical notice, but still sees it in the trading desk banner and their notification list, as [Announcements](https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/console/asset-lifecycle/venues/announcements) describes.
- **Corporate actions**: a corporate action is announced for an instrument the participant can see.

## You should see [#you-should-see]

- Reopen **Participant alerts** and check that each "Email" switch reads as you set it.
