# Configure class notifications for staff

Go to **Admin > Settings > Messages**. Find these notifications in **Staff & Instructors**.

The **Instructor class reminder** emails a class's instructor 6 hours before it starts. Email is on by default. Turn it off to stop these emails, for example while you set up your timetable before opening bookings. Its **Also send by phone** switch is separate and sends by SMS only.

The **Instructor class brief** goes to each instructor of a class about 2 hours before it starts, when at least one person is booked. It says how many are booked and how many are on their first visit with your business. It never names anyone and says nothing about health: the instructor opens the class to see who is coming. A substitute gets the brief instead of the instructor they replaced.

Email and push are on by default. Nothing is sent for a cancelled class or a class with no bookings. A class that gets its first booking later still gets a brief, as long as that is at least 30 minutes before it starts. Each instructor can turn the brief off for themselves on the website in **Account** > **Profile** > **Settings**, under **Class brief**.
