Notifications

OneClickClaw tells you what is happening with your servers, your billing and your account through the notification bell in the dashboard. The bell is on by default. The most urgent alerts also pop up on screen, so you see them even when the bell is closed.

The notification bell

The bell sits in the dashboard header. When you have unread notifications, a badge shows how many (or "9+" when there are more than nine). The badge is red when one of them is critical or an error, orange for a warning, and amber when we have sent you a gift. Click the bell to open the list. It shows your newest 30 notifications, newest first.

Each row shows an icon for its type, a title, a short message, a category label and how long ago it arrived. Click a row to go straight to the page it is about. Opening the bell marks the rows you can see as read.

Gifts from us

When we send you something, such as extra days on your server, it arrives in the bell with a gift icon and the label "Gift". The badge turns amber so you can spot it.

Notification categories

Every notification carries a category label. These are the main groups you will see:

CategoryWhat it coversExamples
Server, Health, Offline, GatewayYour server and your agentServer unreachable, disk almost full, agent gateway status
Deploy, ReinstallBuilding or rebuilding a serverBuild started, server ready, build failed
Billing, Payment, Renewal, Plan, CreditsPayments and your subscriptionPayment failed, renewal reminder, plan suggestion

You may also see Dreaming, Cost Spike, Repair and Tool labels on OpenClaw events.

Your week (OpenClaw)

Every Monday, if you have an OpenClaw server, the bell brings a short "Your week" note about what your agent did in the last seven days. The same numbers appear on the "Your agent this week" card on the Overview page.

Disk space alerts

When your server reports that its disk is 90% full or more, the bell tells you "Your server's disk is N% full". You get this at most once a week. On a paid plan it points you to the "Disk space" card on the server page, where you can add more disk. On a free trial it tells you that extra disk comes with a paid plan.

Notification types and severity

Every notification has a type that sets its icon:

  • Success: Something finished well, like a server becoming ready or a payment going through.
  • Info: A general update that needs no action.
  • Warning: Something needs your attention soon, like a disk that is filling up.
  • Error: Something went wrong and needs action, like a failed payment.

Critical notifications

Some notifications are marked as critical. When a new critical notification arrives, it also pops up on screen as a short message, so you see it even when the bell is closed. The bell badge turns red.

Note

Some events also send an email. You choose which ones in the "Email Notifications" section of your Settings page.

Managing your notifications

The bell list has two quick actions:

  • Mark all read: Clears the unread badge.
  • Clear all: Removes all notifications from the list.

Notifications older than 30 days are removed automatically every day, so old entries never pile up.

Notification preferences

You choose which notifications reach your bell in the "Notification Preferences" section of the Settings page. Changes are saved automatically. Every bell switch starts on.

Settings - Notification Preferences

The disk space alert follows the "Server health alerts" switch.

Tip

When you switch a category off, its notifications no longer reach your bell, and so they do not pop up on screen either. Keep "Payment failed" and "Server offline / unreachable" on so you hear about urgent problems.

Real-time updates

Your dashboard checks for new notifications every 30 seconds on its own. You do not need to refresh the page. When a new critical notification arrives, it pops up on screen within that time.
