# Create a Notification for Monthly Volume Limits

If you're on a monthly payment processing contract with impact.com, you can easily configure a custom notification to alert you (or any account members) when your account is approaching your volume limit.

* This notification only works for **monthly payment processing volume contracts**, not annual contracts. If you're on an annual processing volume contract and want to know where you are based on your annual limit, contact us via support or ask your CSM.
* The notification is based on non-locked action volume, meaning the actual processing volume amount is subject to change based on reversals, contract changes, etc. It should be used as an estimate, not as the final amount.

#### Configure a volume limit notification

1. From the top navigation bar, select ![](/files/expnfgwKPMX0KubU8zBA) **\[Notifications]**.
2. In the upper right corner of the notification pane, select **Settings** .
3. At the top of the screen, select the **Custom Notifications** tab.
4. Hover over a notification you want to edit and select ![](/files/mQTDSmR70Q3Eybmgev6e) **\[More]** → **Edit**.
5. In the *Notification Details* section, select the **Account** for this notification from the ![](/files/jA6jLZ1RleK5VI2zmvap) **\[Drop-down menu].**
6. Add a **Notification Name** and add a **Notification Description**. The description will appear in the notification that's sent.
7. In the *Notification Rules* section, use the *Look at activity by* ![](/files/jA6jLZ1RleK5VI2zmvap) **\[Drop-down menu]** to select **Media across all programs**.
8. For *Run Rules*, select **Once a Day**.
9. For the *Date Range*, select **Month to Date**.
10. In the *Rules* box, use the ![](/files/jA6jLZ1RleK5VI2zmvap) **\[Drop-down menu]** to create the following logic:

    `[Total cost]` `[greater than or equals]` `[monthly volume processing limit]`.

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note:</strong> Refer to your contract with impact.com to find your monthly payout processing volume amount.</p></div>
11. Choose whether or not to share this with other members of your impact.com account, then select **Save**.
