Notifications
Classifyre is quiet by default. If you’re not hearing from it, everything is running normally. Notifications only appear when something genuinely needs your attention — a scan failing, unusual activity, or a milestone worth knowing about.
The Bell
The notification bell lives in the top-right corner of the app. A red badge shows how many unread notifications you have. Click it to see your latest alerts.

Badge number
How many unread notifications you have. Disappears when everything is read.
Coloured background
Unread items are highlighted based on severity — red for high, yellow for medium, and so on.
Mark all read
Clears the badge and marks every item as read in one click.
What Triggers a Notification
Only five events send a notification. Everything else is intentionally silent — a successful scan with no anomalies produces no noise.
A scan could not finish. The notification title includes how many times in a row this source has failed.
Click "View scan" to see the specific error. Common causes: expired credentials, network connectivity issues, or the source being temporarily unavailable.
A previously failing source completed its scan successfully.
No action needed — this is good news. You can optionally review the scan results to confirm everything looks normal.
This scan found significantly more findings than usual — more than 3× the recent average, with at least 20 more than baseline.
Review the scan immediately. This may indicate newly exposed content, a newly connected service, or a change in scanning scope. If unexpected, investigate the source.
The number of findings dropped sharply compared to the previous scan — a 3× or greater decrease of at least 20 findings.
Verify this was intentional. A large drop can mean a successful cleanup, but it can also signal that the scanner lost access to content or that a configuration changed unexpectedly.
A newly added source finished its very first scan.
Review the initial findings — this is your baseline for that source. Any findings here were already present before Classifyre started monitoring.
Severity Levels
Each notification has a severity that reflects how urgently it needs your attention.
| Level | Colour | What it signals | Events |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | Orange–red | Needs attention soon | Scan Failed, Findings Spike |
| Medium | Yellow | Worth investigating | Large Drop in Findings |
| Info | Grey | Good news or FYI | Scan Recovered, First Scan Complete |
High-severity notifications are also marked as Important automatically, so they stay visible even after you read them. You can toggle the Important flag on any notification manually.
The Notifications Page
The bell shows your most recent alerts. For the full history — with filtering by severity, type, and read status — open the Notifications page from the sidebar.
From there you can:
- Filter by severity, type, or source
- Mark a subset as read using the active filters
- Dismiss notifications you no longer need
- Pin notifications as Important to keep them accessible
Notifications are stored indefinitely and are not automatically deleted, so you can always look back at when a source first failed or when an anomaly was detected.
