When you add a site in Yandex Webmaster or confirm your site management rights in the service, you receive access to information about changes to the site in search results. For example, you can find out which pages appeared in search results or disappeared from them.
To receive notifications about changes, set up notifications for each individual topic:
General

Description
Global messages and news for webmasters from services
Notifications about important changes in the service and invitations to webinars.
Subject
Event after which the notification arrives
Weekly site summary
The service prepared a summary of changes to the site: Yandex Webmaster offers a brief summary and a full summary. Notifications are sent only by email.
If there are no changes or only minor changes on your site, you won't receive any notifications.
The summary is generated for the period from Monday to Sunday.
Brief summary

Changes to pages in the search.
Changes in clicks by search queries.
Changes in clicks for the whole site.
Page links that have the maximum number of clicks in the search and the maximum number of displays from Monday to Sunday.
Changes to the list of important pages. If pages are not added to the list of important ones, you will be offered a list of pages recommended for tracking.
The site is linked to the Yandex Metrica counter, but page crawling is not enabled yet. For more information, see Indexing a site with the Yandex Metrica tag. The first notification comes a day after the linking request is confirmed.

Notification settings per site
Use these settings to change how you receive notifications or choose a set of notifications that differs from the general settings.

In Yandex Webmaster, click at the bottom of the main menu to open the Notifications page.
Click Configure.
In the dropdown list in the main menu on the left, select the site that you want to configure notifications for. Another way to select a site is to click the link at the bottom of the settings page.
