# Introduction
The MagicMirror core has the ability to send notifications to modules. Or even better: the modules have the possibility to send notifications to other modules.
Additional technical information on the notifications can be found in the modules documentation:
# System notifications
The system sends three notifications when starting up:
| Notification | Payload | Description |
|---|---|---|
ALL_MODULES_STARTED | none | All modules are started. You can now send notifications to other modules. |
DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED | none | All dom objects are created. The system is now ready to perform visual changes. |
MODULE_DOM_CREATED | none | This module's dom has been fully loaded. You can now access your module's dom objects. |
# Default module notifications
These notifications are send by the default modules:
| Notification | Payload | Description |

SHOW_ALERT | message details | Sent to alert module to show an alert or notification. |
HIDE_ALERT | none | Sent to alert module to hide the current alert or notification. |
