# Can Google Sheets send notifications to other users?

There are a few different types of notifications for Google Sheets that you can set up, here we’ll be focussing on [notifications for when your spreadsheet is updated](https://checksheet.app/blog/google-sheets-notifications/#notifications-when-a-spreadsheet-is-updated).

The built-in notification functionality **only allows sending notifications to yourself**, not to other users.

To send notifications to other users you **need to use an app like Check Sheet** or write some code using [Apps Script](https://developers.google.com/apps-script).

Using [Check Sheet](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/check_sheet_notifications/239755856136) you can send notifications to multiple email addresses, Slack channels, Microsoft Teams channels, Discord channels or Google Chat spaces based on a variety of [conditions](https://documentation.checksheet.app/concepts/conditions).

You can [Install Check Sheet](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/check_sheet_notifications/239755856136) for free from the Google Workspace Marketplace and learn more about how it works by reading [our documentation](https://documentation.checksheet.app/concepts/checks).
