# Setting Up Notifications for Events

## Overview

**Notifications** can be added to Decisions for events that display to members of designated Groups through various methods, including Email, SMS, a Popup Message, and Twitter. The platform contains an extensive list of Default Notification Types, which are the actions that trigger the system to send a Notification, including Account Created, Site Published, and Group Deleted.

The following document demonstrates how to set up Notifications for such Portal Events by creating an **Account Created Notification**. When the system or a User creates an Account, the Notification displays a Popup message to Users in the Administrators Group.
