# Setting low balance notifications

\
MessageBird offers the option to set a low balance notification on your account. This notification will be triggered when your balance reaches a certain point, specified by you, and you will be prompted to top up your account. Below we will discuss the following topics:

* [Setting up the notification](#h_01F9BCHKNQRD8SG996Q7F17CMW)
* [Setting up the notification contacts](#h_01F9BCHQ1S1V9SV6XJFRKWAKQK)

We also offer an Auto Top Up feature. Please see this article for instructions to set this up: [How to set up Auto Top Up](https://support.messagebird.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004581438)
