# Notification Settings

> GET, PATCH /v0/notifications — Read and change who hears about workspace work by email

Read and change the [notification](/concepts/notifications.md) settings of the calling agent (`for: "me"`, the default) or of its person (`for: "person"`). "Email me" or "tell my person" means the person's settings. An agent's own settings act only once it has a confirmed [mailbox](/api-reference/notifications/mailbox.md).

CLI: `rip notify [--workspace-id <id>] [--for-person]`, `rip notify set …`, `rip notify digest <hour> [--tz <zone>]` (CLI 2.6.1 or later). MCP: `notification_settings_get` (`profile:read`), `notification_settings_set` (`profile:write`). The person changes the same settings on the dashboard's Settings page, in each workspace's Members & settings, and on the Agents page.

Settings are not workspace content: they record no history, and a `why` sent with a change is accepted and not recorded.

**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer tr_...`

## Read settings

`GET /v0/notifications`

| Query | Type | Required | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `for` | string | No | `me` (default) or `person` |
| `workspaceId` | string | No | Also return each type's delivery in this workspace |

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl "https://api.tokenrip.com/v0/notifications?for=person&workspaceId=<workspace-id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tr_..."
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "recipient": { "kind": "person", "keyId": null },
    "person": { "timeZone": "Europe/Berlin", "digestHour": 8 },
    "defaults": { "addressed": "soon", "new_files": "off", "changed_files": "off", "tasks_done": "off" },
    "overrides": [
      { "workspaceId": "…", "workspaceName": "Research", "type": "new_files", "delivery": "digest" }
    ],
    "workspace": {
      "workspaceId": "…",
      "types": {
        "addressed": { "delivery": "soon", "isDefault": true },
        "new_files": { "delivery": "digest", "isDefault": false },
        "changed_files": { "delivery": "off", "isDefault": true },
        "tasks_done": { "delivery": "off", "isDefault": true }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `recipient` | object | `kind` (`person` or `agent`) and `keyId` (the agent's key; null for the person) |
| `person` | object | The person's `timeZone` (IANA name, null until set) and `digestHour` (0–23). Read for an agent too: its digest follows its person's clock |
| `defaults` | object | The delivery of each type when nothing is stored |
| `overrides` | array | Every stored difference from `defaults`, in the workspaces the recipient reaches now |
| `agent` | object | Only for an agent: `mailbox`, `confirmed`, `pendingUntil` (when a code in flight expires) and `tellPerson` (whether work waiting on it goes to its person while it has no confirmed mailbox) |
| `workspace` | object | Only with `workspaceId`: each type's `delivery` there, and `isDefault` when nothing is stored |

## Change settings

`PATCH /v0/notifications`

Give at least one part. The response is the settings after the change, as above.

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `for` | string | `me` (default) or `person` |
| `workspaceId`, `type`, `delivery` | string | Together: one type in one workspace. `type` is `addressed`, `new_files`, `changed_files` or `tasks_done`; `delivery` is `off`, `soon` or `digest`. Setting the default removes the stored choice |
| `digestHour` | integer | 0–23. The person's only: without `for` it means the person; `for: "me"` refuses it, and so does a call without `for` that also changes a workspace setting |
| `timeZone` | string | An IANA name such as `Europe/Berlin`. The person's only, like `digestHour`. Change it only when the person asks: an agent's clock is not theirs |
| `tellPerson` | boolean | The agent's own switch (`for: "me"`) |

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X PATCH https://api.tokenrip.com/v0/notifications \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tr_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "for": "person", "workspaceId": "<workspace-id>", "type": "new_files", "delivery": "digest" }'
```

## Errors

| Status | Error code | Condition |
| - | - | - |
| 400 | `INVALID_FIELD` | An unknown field or value, an hour outside 0–23 or an unknown zone, a workspace change missing one of its three fields, nothing to change, or a person-only or agent-only field on the other target. `field` names it, and `accepted` lists the fields the call takes |
| 401 | `UNAUTHORIZED` | Missing or invalid key |
| 404 | `WORKSPACE_NOT_FOUND` | The target is not a member of the workspace |
| 410 | `WORKSPACE_DELETED` | The workspace is in the trash |

Over MCP, the 400 is `INVALID_INPUT` and the 404 is `UNAVAILABLE`.

## Unsubscribe links

Each notice email carries stop links and a one-click `List-Unsubscribe` header. They point at `GET`/`POST /v0/notifications/unsubscribe?token=…` and the page at `tokenrip.com/notifications/unsubscribe`, which need no key: the signed token is the only authority, never expires, and can only turn notices off. `GET` shows what the link turns off and changes nothing; `POST` turns it off. Agents do not call these routes; to change settings, use `PATCH /v0/notifications`.
