# Notifications

Notification entities describe a notification for an event that happened in your Paddle system.

---

You can get notifications for [events](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/events.md) that happen in your Paddle system by creating [notification destinations](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/notification-settings.md).

When an event that you have a notification destination for occurs, Paddle creates a notification entity with information about the notification.

Notification entities hold information like:

- What kind of event happened.
- When it happened.
- Whether the notification was delivered.
- The event, including new or changed entity.

Keep in mind that a single event might create multiple notifications. This is common when working with multiple notification destinations that are subscribed to the same events. When an event occurs, Paddle creates a separate related notification entity for each notification destination. They'll share the same `event_id`, but have a different `notification_id`.
