At Breakcold, notifications are a key feature designed to keep you informed about important events and updates related to your contacts, tasks, and system activities. They ensure you stay connected and can take timely action within the platform.

## Breakcold notifications come in two main types:

* **In-App Notifications:** These alerts appear directly within the Breakcold app, providing real-time updates as you work.
* **Email Notifications:** Sent to your registered email address, these keep you informed even when you’re away from the app.
