Configuring Personal Notifications

Liferay provides integrated notification tools, so you can ensure users are alerted to platform events. Users can customize which notifications they receive by enabling email, or website notifications for the desired applications. These settings are global in scope and determine the user’s personal notifications for all sites. To customize individual notifications,

  1. Open your Personal Menu and click Notifications.

    Open the Personal Menu and click Notifications, Click the Actions button in the Application Bar and select Configuration.

  2. Click Actions (Actions Button) in the Application Bar and select Configuration (1).

    Alternatively, you can access these settings wherever the Notifications widget is deployed. Click Options (Widget Options icon) in the widget header → Configuration (2).

    Access the widget configurations through the actions menu in the application bar or through the widget options.

    Note

    Before Liferay DXP 2025.Q1, the Configuration option appeared in the widget’s top-right corner.

  3. Enable or disable notifications for the desired application triggers.

  4. Click Save.

Customization options include the following application triggers.
