Email Notification Options for Applicants
- Colin Warren
Applicants may receive notifications from goPost™️ regarding updates to their project application status or when marked-up plans are ready to be downloaded. These notifications are sent as emails to the email address provided by the applicant.
The types of notifications will vary based on the Agency's notification configurations, but applicants may have the option to subscribe to additional notifications from their profile if not restricted by the Agency.
To avoid unnecessary confusion or delays with a project application, we do not recommend unsubscribing from any notifications that are preselected.

The table below provides the list of optional notifications that an applicant may receive and how the notification emails are triggered. For information on what to do when you receive a notification, see Project Statuses.
