• Email: Receive the notifications via the email address associated with your Smartsheet account.
• Mobile Push: Allow the Smartsheet mobile app to give you push notifications on your mobile device.
• Messaging App: Receive notifications via the messaging apps (such as Slack and Google Chat) integrated with your Smartsheet account.
