# Get notified about your own approval changes

By default Capable does not tell you about things you did yourself. If you want a record in your inbox or chat anyway, turn on Notify me about my own changes.

---

## Steps

1. Open Approval and choose Notifications under Manage.
2. Find the Your Own Changes card.
3. Turn on Notify me about my own changes.

The card explains: "Turn on to also get email, Slack and Microsoft Teams messages about approvals you request, respond to or change yourself. Channel notifications are not affected."

## A few things worth knowing

* It is off by default, for everyone.
* It follows your channel switches: with Slack off for you, you get no Slack message about your own changes either.
* It only affects you.
