# Notification settings API

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/5632) in GitLab 8.12.

## Valid notification levels

The notification levels are defined in the `NotificationSetting.level` model enumeration. Currently, these levels are recognized:

```plaintext
disabled
participating
watch
global
mention
custom
```

If the `custom` level is used, specific email events can be controlled. Available events are returned by `NotificationSetting.email_events`. Currently, these events are recognized:

- `new_note`
- `new_issue`
- `reopen_issue`
- `close_issue`
- `reassign_issue`
- `issue_due`
- `new_merge_request`
- `push_to_merge_request`
- `reopen_merge_request`
- `close_merge_request`
- `reassign_merge_request`
- `merge_merge_request`
- `failed_pipeline`
- `fixed_pipeline`
- `success_pipeline`
- `new_epic` **(ULTIMATE)**
