# Paging and notifications
When there is a new alert or incident, it is important for a responder to be notified
immediately so they can triage and respond to the problem. Responders can receive
notifications using the methods described on this page.
## Slack notifications
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216326) in GitLab 13.1.
Responders can be paged via Slack using the
[Slack Notifications Service ](../../user/project/integrations/slack.md ), which you
can configure for new alerts and new incidents. After configuring, responders
receive a **single** page via Slack. To set up Slack notifications on your mobile
device, make sure to enable notifications for the Slack app on your phone so
you never miss a page.
## Email notifications
Email notifications are available in projects that have been
[configured to create incidents automatically ](incidents.md#create-incidents-automatically )
for triggered alerts. Project members with the **Owner** or **Maintainer** roles are
sent an email notification automatically. (This is not configurable.) To optionally
send additional email notifications to project members with the **Developer** role:
1. Navigate to **Settings > Operations** .
1. Expand the **Incidents** section.
1. In the **Alert Integration** tab, select the **Send a separate email notification to Developers**
check box.
1. Select **Save changes** .
