## Notifications

The notification service updates you with the latest launch information and reminders for launches that will be happening soon.

The `add` command allows admins to subscribe text channels to the bots notification service. This will send the subscribed channel different types of messages, which are explained below.

- A **schedule** notification shows detailed information about the next upcoming launch. This message is sent every time the next upcoming launch has changed, e.g. if a launch date is changed or if a launch just happened so now the next upcoming launch is different. Currently changes are checked for every 60 seconds.

- A **launch** notification provides useful links to things such as the livestream and press kit. This message is only sent through the notification service and will be sent 30 minutes before a launch. You can choose to have a list of mentions sent to alert users to this notification.

![launch_soon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpaceXLaunchBot/SpaceXLaunchBot/master/images/screenshots/launch_soon.png)

If you want to receive both types of notification you can use **all**.

Currently there is no way to update the type and/or mentions you have set for a channel. If you need to change these just call `slb remove` and then `slb add` with your new options.
