Notifications

Control which events trigger in-app and email notifications, and tune them to match how you work.

RankTurn does a lot of work in the background — generating keywords, drafting titles, writing articles, and publishing on a schedule. Notifications keep you in the loop without forcing you to sit and watch a progress bar. You decide which events are worth a ping and whether each one arrives in the app, by email, or both.

Notification settings live under Settings > Notifications. They apply to the site you're currently working in, so each site you manage can have its own preferences. Every event is on by default — switch off the ones you don't need.

In-App vs Email

Notifications come in two delivery channels, each configured separately:

  • In-App Notifications — appear inside RankTurn while you're working. Best for events you want to see the moment you're in the dashboard but don't need cluttering your inbox.
  • Email Notifications — sent to your account email address. Best for events you want to know about even when you're not logged in.

The two channels are independent. You can, for example, leave in-app notifications on for every generation event while sending only billing and usage alerts to email. To save any change, click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

A few delivery rules are worth knowing up front:

  • The same generation events (keywords, titles, articles) can be toggled separately for in-app and for email, so a single event can reach you on one channel, both, or neither.
  • Billing & Usage alerts are email-only — there are no in-app toggles for them.
  • Some critical emails are always sent regardless of your settings (see Tuning Notifications below).

Event Types

On the settings page you'll find these events grouped into three sections.

In-App Notifications

EventFires when
Keywords & Competitor AnalysisKeyword generation or competitor analysis finishes.
Title Generation & Trend DetectionTitle generation or trend detection finishes.
Article Generation CompleteAn article's content generation finishes.
Article Auto-PublishedAn article is automatically published.

Email Notifications

The email card mirrors the in-app generation events, so you can route each one to your inbox independently:

Article Generation CompleteAn article's content generation finishes.

Billing & Usage (Email Only)

AlertFires when
Subscription Change NotificationsYour plan changes or a subscription is confirmed.
Usage AlertsYour article generation quota is running low.
Integration AlertsIssues are detected with an external service integration.

These three are sent by email only. Usage Alerts are a useful early warning before you hit a limit — see Usage Quotas for how quotas work. Integration Alerts flag problems such as expired or invalid credentials on a connected platform; see Credentials & Security for how to fix them.

Tuning Notifications

Start from the default (everything on) and trim back to what's actionable for the way you work:

  1. Open Settings > Notifications.
  2. For each event, flip the switch on or off for the channel you want — in-app, email, or both.
  3. Click Save Changes. A brief confirmation message appears once your preferences are saved.

Some practical setups:

  • Hands-off automation — if your articles generate and publish on a schedule, turn off the per-article generation notifications and keep only Usage Alerts and Integration Alerts so you hear about problems, not routine successes.
  • Active editing — keep in-app notifications on for Article Generation Complete so you know the moment a draft is ready to review, and switch its email off to keep your inbox clean.
  • Email-only — if you rarely sit in the dashboard, leave the email events on and turn the in-app ones off.

Emails that are always sent

Regardless of your settings, RankTurn always sends important emails about payment failures, subscription cancellations, and trial expiration. These cannot be disabled because missing them could interrupt your service or billing. Everything else on this page is fully under your control.

Once your preferences are set, the rest of RankTurn keeps working in the background. For where these events come from, see Content Generation, Automatic Publishing, and Plans & Billing.
