  </Step>
</Steps>

## Notification and alert de-duplication

Notifications are sent only the first time a given finding is detected.

When running a diff-aware scan, Semgrep doesn't notify you when a pull request has a finding that existed on the base branch already, even if that line is moved or re-indented.

Semgrep also tracks notifications that have already been sent, so subsequent scans of the same changes in a pull request won't result in duplicate notifications.

  **NOTE**

  See [Findings in CI](/semgrep-ci/findings-ci) for more information about how Semgrep tracks a finding through its lifetime.

### Number of emails

Emails about new findings are triggered only once. These emails also include a **summary** of current open findings.
