# Watchlist and notifications

Track names, sync a watchlist, and configure lifecycle alerts.

## Overview

The watchlist stores names you want to monitor even when you do not own them. A connected wallet can synchronize the list across devices; notification settings control supported expiry, availability, listing, and price signals.

## What this covers

- Add from search, domain detail, or the watchlist page.
- Device-local use while disconnected and wallet-bound cloud synchronization after connection.
- Status, price, listing, and lifecycle refreshes.
- Configurable expiry and market notification channels where available.

## Before you run this workflow

### Networks

- Ethereum mainnet

### Prerequisites

- Connected controlling wallet
- Correct owner, manager, registrant, or resolver authority

### Wallet permissions

- Only the transaction or typed-data signature shown for the selected operation

### Expected result

- A confirmed onchain update with per-name status for bulk operations

### Errors and recovery

- Inspect authority and wrapped-name state
- Retry only failed items after refreshing chain state

## How to use it

1. **Add exact names.** Use the heart or watch control on a result or domain page.
2. **Connect to synchronize.** On connection, the local and wallet-bound copies are merged rather than silently replacing one another.
3. **Configure alerts.** Open Notifications and choose supported events and destinations. Complete any verification step required by the selected channel.
4. **Keep independent reminders.** For owned names, calendar export and registrar reminders are sensible backups to one notification provider.
