# Low credit alerts

> Set up email notifications when your workspace credit balance drops below a threshold.

Low credit alerts let you know when your workspace is running low on credits, so you can top up before enrichments are interrupted.

## How it works

You define a credit threshold. When your workspace balance drops below that number, the workspace owner receives an email notification. This gives you time to purchase additional credits before any running enrichments fail.

## Setting up an alert

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open workspace settings">
    Click the **arrow** next to your workspace name in the top-left corner, then select **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the credit alert section">
    Navigate to the **Billing** section in settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your threshold">
    Enter the credit balance at which you want to be notified. For example, setting it to 500 means you get an email when your balance drops below 500 credits.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The alert is now active.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Things to know

* Low credit alerts are **off by default**. You need to enable them manually.
* Only the **workspace owner** receives the notification email.
* The alert fires once when the balance crosses the threshold. It does not send repeated emails unless the balance recovers and drops again.

## What to do when you get an alert

When you receive a low credit notification, you can purchase additional credit packs from your [workspace settings](/product-guide/workspace-settings). Credit add-ons require an active subscription and expire 3 months after purchase.
