Configure automated notices
The Zulip sends automated notices via Notification Bot to notify users about changes in their organization or account. Some types of notices can be configured, or disabled altogether.
Notices sent to streams are translated into the language that the organization has configured as the language for automated messages and invitation emails. The topic name is also translated. Notices sent directly to users will use their preferred language.
Notices about streams
Notices about stream settings changes, such as name, description, permission and policy updates are sent to the “stream events” topic in the stream that was modified.
New stream announcements
{!admin-only.md!}
When creating a new public stream, the stream creator can choose to advertise the new stream via an automated notice. You can configure what stream Zulip uses for these notices, or disable these notices entirely. The topic for these messages is “new streams”.
New private streams are never announced.

Notices about topics
A notice is sent when a topic is resolved or unresolved. These notices will be marked as unread only for users who had participated in the topic.
Additionally, when moving messages to another stream or topic, users can decide whether to send automated notices to help others understand how content was moved.
Notices about users
You will be notified if someone subscribes you to a stream, or changes your group membership.
New user announcements
{!admin-only.md!}
You can configure where Notification Bot will post an announcement when new users join your organization, or disable new user announcement messages entirely. The topic for these messages is “signups”.

Zulip update announcements
Zulip announces new features and other important product changes via automated messages. This is designed to help users discover new features they may find useful, including new configuration options.
These announcements are posted to the “Zulip updates” topic in the stream selected by organization administrators. You can read update messages whenever it's convenient, or mute the topic if you are not interested. If you organization does not want to receive these announcements, they can be disabled.
On self-hosted Zulip servers, announcement messages are shipped with the Zulip server version that includes the new feature or product change. You may thus receive several announcement messages when your server is upgraded.
Unlike other notices, Zulip update announcements are not translated.
