You'll receive email notifications when there’s critical information you should see about your manager account. But you can also choose to receive other types of notifications by email.
This article shows you how to manage the email notifications you receive for your manager account as well as for your client accounts. Keep in mind that each user on a manager account can set their own notification preferences.
Email notifications for manager accounts
You can opt in to email notifications when you create your manager account, but you can change your preferences at any time. These are the types of emails that you can choose to receive:
- Newsletters
- Google market research
- Customised help and performance suggestions
- Reports
- Special offers
Email notifications for client accounts
These are the types of emails you can choose to receive about your client accounts:
- Disapproved ads and policy alerts
- Campaign maintenance
- Customised help and performance suggestions
- Newsletters
For the first two, 'Disapproved ads and policy alerts' and 'Campaign maintenance', you can choose to receive, all, only critical or no emails. However, note that if the client account has no other users receiving critical email notifications for the account, you’ll automatically receive these critical emails on behalf of the client account.
For the last two, 'Customised help and performance suggestions' and 'Newsletters', you can choose to receive either all or no emails.
