# Enable or disable email notification of alerts

Sometimes it might be useful to disable email notification of alerts for a filter and recipient pair. For example, there might be an error in the filter query that causes continuous email messages. You can disable the modified filter and recipient pair until you find and correct the error, and then enable email notification for the filter and recipient pair.

You can also enable or disable the entire email notification feature, which affects all the filter and recipient pairs.
