Piksel can send you email alerts so you know when something important happens without having to check the dashboard. You control which notifications you receive, and you can send a test email at any time to confirm that delivery is working correctly.

​
Notification types

Piksel supports three categories of email notification:
PreferenceWhat triggers it
Offline alerts (offline_alerts)Sent when a paired screen goes offline and is no longer reachable.
Rule triggers (rule_triggers)Sent when a smart rule activates or clears on any of your screens.
Weekly summary (weekly_summary)A periodic digest of account activity sent once per week.
Offline alerts and rule trigger notifications are enabled by default. The weekly summary is disabled by default.

​
Enable or disable notifications

1

Open Notification settings

From the dashboard, go to your Profile or Account settings and select the Notifications tab.
2

Toggle each notification type

Use the toggles next to Offline alerts, Rule triggers, and Weekly summary to enable or disable each one independently.
3

Save your preferences

Click Save to apply your changes. Your preferences take effect immediately for future events.

​
Set a language preference for emails

Piksel sends notification emails in the language associated with your profile. To change the language, update your language preference in your profile settings. All future notification emails — including the test email — will use the new language.

​
Send a test email

Use the test email feature to confirm that notifications are reaching your inbox before an actual event occurs.
1

Open Notification settings

Navigate to the Notifications tab in your profile or account settings.
2

Click Send test email

Click the Send test email button. Piksel sends a test message to the email address on your account, using your currently configured language preference.
3

Check your inbox

Check your inbox for the test message. If it doesn’t arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
Send a test email after changing your language preference to confirm the new language is applied correctly.
