Notifications & alerts
Where GMPro tells you what happened and what needs you next — the bell, the Action center, and the settings that control both.
- 1
The bell: what happened
The bell in the top bar collects your recent notifications — deadline reminders, document expirations, submission confirmations. Unread items show a count badge; open one to jump straight to the record it's about, or “Mark all read.”
- 2
The Action center: what needs you
“Open action center” (or the bell's footer link) shows the items that need a next action — deadlines, certifications, and required documents, grouped by urgency. You never dismiss these by hand: each item clears automatically when the underlying work is complete, and when nothing needs you it says so.

Tune where GMPro alerts you
In “Notification settings” (account menu, or the Settings link in the bell), every event type has an Email and an In-app toggle — submission confirmations, returned applications, deadlines, document reminders. Set your global defaults, then pick a specific grant opportunity from the scope menu to override them for just that grant and fiscal year.
Turning alerts off never hides required work — deadlines and required documents stay visible in their workspaces and in the Action center.
