The Scenarios table below defines the Customer notification scenarios used in the [Customer notification section](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/customer-notifications/introduction-to-customer-notifications "The Customer notifications section") of the Booking page. These scenarios are the booking events that can take place during the booking lifecycle. You can choose which scenarios will trigger notifications and if the notifications are sent via email, SMS, or both.

In this article, you’ll learn about the different scenarios for using Customer notifications.

## Location of the Customer notifications section

By default, when your [Booking page is associated with Event types](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/booking-pages/adding-event-types-to-booking-pages "Adding Event types to Booking pages"), the Customer notifications section is [located on the Event type](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/introduction-to-event-types "Introduction to Event types"). When your [Booking Page](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/booking-pages/introduction-to-booking-pages "Introduction to Booking pages") is not associated with [Event types](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/introduction-to-event-types "Introduction to Event types"), this section is located on the Booking page[](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/introduction-to-event-types "Introduction to Event types"). However, your account Administrator can [change the location of this section](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/booking-form-and-customer-notifications "Event type sections: Location of the Booking form and the Customer notifications sections") to be always on either Booking pages or Event types for the entire account.
