# Subscribing to notifications

You can subscribe to email notifications on various analysis-related events. You cannot subscribe for another user.

You’re automatically notified in the following cases:

* When one of your tokens is about to expire.
* As a Quality Profile Administrator, when a built-in quality profile is modified (after a SonarQube Server or analyzer update).
  {% endhint %}
