Want to be notified when someone opts-in to a form? Gets added to a list? What about when you make a sale? Set-Up Kartra Email Notifications inside Your Account and customize what you, your team, and your leads see!
To find the Email Notifications, first click on your Profile icon from anywhere inside Kartra on the top right hand corner of the screen. Go to “Notifications.” (Protip: You need to be logged into the owner’s account to adjust this. It is not currently possible to use anything in this menu from a team account).

Here’s a list of all the Kartra notifications you should get comfortable using for your launch or evergreen funnel!
Kartra Email Notifications

A lead has filled in an Opt-in Form
- Use THIS when you want happy notifications from Kartra in your inbox about a new lead magnet or opt-in campaign!

- If your calendar requires approval from you or a team member before it’s confirmed, you’ll want this email notification switched on so you know ASAP when there’s a calendar waiting.
Calendar subscription confirmation vendor
New calendar booking
- Don’t need to approve your calendar requests, but still want instant notification? Turn this on and you’ll know exactly when someone has scheduled something. PROTIP: Change the subject line so that it really stands out in your inbox!

New affiliate sign up!

- If you’ve allowed Calendar cancellations, make sure you are notified straight away in case it ever happens. (Want help using Kartra Calendars? Make a request for my Youtube channel!).

Comment pending moderation
New comment waiting for moderation!
- Have you enabled comments in your Kartra Memberships? If you want to control who can comment and when (or just make sure the quality of those contributing matches your vibe!) then you need to turn on comment moderation. Get notified of a waiting comment by turning this one.
Lead subscribes to a list
A lead has subscribed to a List
- All of your leads should get subscribed to a list as soon as they opt-in, so you can choose whether you need one or both of these. Edit the “rules” in this area so you receive just particular list status updates, rather than all of them. This is helpful if you’re using automations to add existing leads to a new list, or if you prefer to organize via Lists rather than Forms!
Lead subscribes to a membership
A lead has subscribed to a Memberships
- Turn this on if you are using automations to grant access to a particular membership. If the membership is attached to a sale, save yourself a crowded inbox and just use that to track your course purchases!
Lead subscribes to a sequence
Lead has subscribed to a Sequence
- Adjust which Sequences you hear about in the “Rules” area. You can decide whether to hear about all of them, or just a select few.
Membership new comment posted
New comment posted!
- Enabled comments, but don’t have moderation turned on? Still know when a new comment has been added inside of one of your memberships. (Note: It is not currently possible to notify other members when someone else comments. You’ll need to send out a broadcast if you want other members to check out the comment inside. For this reason, most people use third-party platforms such as Facebook Groups or Slack for any community aspect. Want to learn more about Memberships? Make a request for my Youtube channel!).
New shipping order
New shipping order!
- Have an eCommerce business? Turn this one!
Helpdesk new ticket notification to vendor
