# Signal notifications
> Use Signal notifications in Userpilot to alert your team about key in-app events in real time or on a schedule via in-app, email, or Slack.
## Overview
Signals in Userpilot allow you and your teammates to stay informed about key in-app activities through automated notifications.\
You can configure personalized signals to alert your team when important events occur, such as when a flow is completed, a survey is submitted, or an NPS response is received, without needing to constantly monitor dashboards.
Signals can be delivered **in real-time** or on a **scheduled basis (hourly, daily, weekly)** through multiple channels:
* **In-app (Inbox)** - visible directly within Userpilot.
* **Email** - sent to selected recipients or teams.
* **Slack** - posted to designated Slack channels for instant visibility.
This flexibility ensures your team never misses critical product or user insights.
## Use cases
1. Get notified when a flow or a checklist is completed to measure adoption.
2. Stay informed the moment a user submits an NPS score and feedback.
3. Track page views or campaign engagement in real-time.
4. Monitor survey submissions or forms to identify customers who need follow-up.
## What Userpilot offers in signals
Userpilot’s **Signals** feature is built for control, flexibility, and collaboration:
1. **Multi-channel delivery**: send alerts via **in-app**, **email**, or **Slack channel(s)**.
2. **Event-based triggers**: choose from **flows**, **checklists**, **surveys**, **forms**, **NPS**, **pages**, **or** **events** to trigger notifications.
3. **Custom frequency**: send alerts in **real-time** or as summaries **hourly**, **daily**, or **weekly**.
4. **Team visibility**: share notifications across team members to align actions across functions.
## How to create a signal
1. Go to **Settings → Notifications → Signals**
2. Click **Create Signal**
3. Select the type of event that should trigger your signal.\
You can choose from:
1. **Flows** - when a user starts, completes, or skips a flow
2. **Checklists** - when a checklist is completed
3. **Surveys or NPS** - when a user submits a response
4. **Pages or Events** - when a user performs a specific action
4. Select the **Channel** where you want your signal to be sent:
1. **Slack** - sends an alert to your selected Slack channel
2. **Email** - sends an email notification to specific recipients
3. **In-App (Inbox)** - delivers the signal directly inside Userpilot
5. Select the users or team members who should receive the notification. You can choose individuals, teams, or connected Slack channels.
6. Set the **Frequency** by choosing how often you’d like the signal to be sent:
1. **Real-time** (as soon as the event happens)
2. **Hourly**, **Daily**, or **Weekly** summaries
7. Click **Save** to finalize your setup. Your new signal will appear in the list; you can toggle it **on/off** anytime.
You can create one signal per event type. For example, you can’t use a single signal to receive notifications from both **Flows** and **Events**. If you’d like to track multiple event types, simply create a separate signal for each one.
## Permissions and access control
Workspace account owners can manage who can **create** or **delete** signals through the **Permissions** settings.\
This ensures that only authorized users can modify or manage signals, keeping your workspace notifications organized and consistent.
## Notification examples
1. Slack notification
2. Email notification
3. In-app (inbox)
If you prefer to receive signal notifications **hourly, daily, or weekly**, Userpilot will automatically **aggregate your notifications** and deliver them in a single bulk update based on your selected frequency.
