You can also, optionally, require that :doc:`daily notifications about
the number of submissions <journalist>` received in the past 24h are
sent via email so journalists know if it is worth checking the
*Journalist Interface*. For this you will need:

- The Journalist Alert Key

Receiving daily notifications about submissions
-----------------------------------------------

When a SecureDrop has little activity and receives only a few
submissions every other week, checking the *Journalist Interface*
daily only to find nothing is waiting is a burden. It is more
convenient for journalists to be notified daily via email about the
number of submissions received in the past 24h.

If the email shows submissions were received, the journalist can
connect to the *Journalist Interface* to get it.

This is an optional feature that must be activated :doc:`by the
administrator <admin>`. In the simplest case a journalist provides
her/his email and GPG public key to the admin. If a team of journalist
want to receive these daily notifications, they should share a GPG
public key and ask the admin to setup a mail alias (SecureDrop does
not provide that) so they all receive the daily notificaitons and are
able to decrypt them.
