# How do I set up notifications for events?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The *event list* is **only available to customers on sipgate classic** available. In sipgate neo, you can see all incoming, outgoing, and missed calls in the sipgate app in the respective channel inbox.
{% endhint %}

In the section **Notifications** you have the option of being informed about events. The notification can be sent by email (free of charge) or by SMS (7 cents/SMS). In addition, the selected notification is displayed in the event list.

To set up a new notification, go to **My Telephony** ➔ **settings** ➔ **Notifications**. There you will find an overview of all events and can set up a new notification for various events (call, voicemail, fax, or SMS) using the button **Add** set up.

In the next step, you can choose an event: Select an event type (call, fax, voicemail, or SMS), the direction of these events, and an endpoint.
