OneClickClaw keeps you informed about everything happening with your servers, billing, and account through a real-time notification system. Notifications appear as a bell icon in your dashboard header, and critical alerts also trigger toast pop-ups so you never miss anything important.
The notification bell
The bell icon sits in the top-right corner of every dashboard page. When you have unread notifications, a red badge appears showing the count (or "9+" if you have more than nine). Clicking the bell opens a dropdown panel listing your most recent notifications, newest first.
Bell Icon
User Avatar
Each notification in the dropdown shows its category icon, a title, a short message preview (two lines), and a relative timestamp like "5m ago." Unread notifications are highlighted with a subtle blue dot. Clicking a notification takes you directly to the relevant page (for example, a billing notification opens your billing page).
Notification categories
Notifications are grouped into six categories, each covering a different aspect of your OneClickClaw experience:
| Category | What it covers | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Server provisioning events | Provisioning started, server ready, deployment failed |
| Billing | Payment and subscription events | Payment failed, subscription renewed, plan changed |
| Server Alerts | Resource threshold warnings | High CPU usage, high RAM usage, disk space low |
| Server Actions | Manual server operations | Server started, stopped, rebooted, snapshot taken |
| Server Destruction | Instance removal | Server deleted after cancellation |
| Account Security | Login and access events | New device login detected |
Notification types and severity
Every notification has a type that determines its icon and color in the dropdown:
- Success (green checkmark): Something completed successfully, like a deployment finishing or a payment going through.
- Info (blue info icon): General updates that do not require action, like a server reboot completing.
- Warning (yellow triangle): Something needs your attention soon, like a subscription about to expire.
- Error (red X): Something went wrong and needs immediate action, like a failed payment.
Critical notifications
Some notifications are marked as critical. These trigger both the bell badge and an on-screen toast pop-up to make sure you see them even if you are not checking the bell. Critical notifications include payment failures, subscription cancellations, and security alerts.
Note
Critical notifications may also trigger an email if you have email alerts enabled in your notification preferences.
Managing your notifications
The notification dropdown provides quick actions to keep your inbox tidy:
- Mark all read: Clears the unread badge and removes highlighting from all notifications.
- Clear all: Removes all notifications from the dropdown entirely.
Notifications are automatically cleaned up after 30 days, so you do not need to manage old entries manually.
Notification preferences
You can control which notifications you receive from the Settings page in your dashboard. Each of the six categories has its own toggle:
Deployment Events
Billing Events
Server Alerts
Server Actions
Server Destruction
Account Security
Email — Critical Only
All toggles default to ON. The "Email — Critical Only" option is also ON by default, meaning you will only receive emails for critical events like payment failures. Turn it off if you want email delivery for all notification types.
Tip
Even if you disable a category, critical events in that category (like a payment failure under Billing) will still generate a toast pop-up on your dashboard to ensure you do not miss urgent information.
Real-time updates
Your dashboard checks for new notifications every 15 seconds automatically. You do not need to refresh the page to see new alerts. When a critical notification arrives, the toast pop-up appears immediately in the corner of your screen with a brief summary and a link to the relevant page.
