# Notifications (requesters)

When working with requests or events, you and other users can add internal comments. When commenting, users may mention you directly, and you will receive a notification about the comment. When you have a notification, you will see a icon next to the Notifications option in the menu.

### When will I receive notifications? <a href="#whenwillireceivenotifications" id="whenwillireceivenotifications"></a>

For your requests and events, you will receive a notification when:

* A teammate comments
* A supplier sends a message (on events)
* You are @mentioned on a comment or message

### View notifications <a href="#viewnotifications" id="viewnotifications"></a>

On the Fairmarkit menu, click Notifications. You can preview the comment and click the notification to view the comment in the request. Once clicked, the notification is removed from this list.
