How to Set Email Alert Preferences

Selecting your email alert preferences is an important step in setting up your Bing Webmaster Tools account. It allows you to provide us with permission to email alerts and messages to you so that you can get alerts about new and unread messages in your Notifications Center from within the comfort of your inbox, keeping you up-to-date all the time. You can select which alerts you would like to see in your inbox and tell us the frequency in which you would like to receive alert emails.

Completing your Profile

Just beside the Notification icon in Webmaster Tools account, you can set up your email preferences by clicking on Settings icon (Gear icon)

You will see a drop down open where you can toggle in to receive communication, set frequency of emails received and alert preference for your business. This information is held securely. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

The Alert Preference section allows you to select which items we should send alerts about.
