During the application process of an Internet Content Provider (ICP) filing and after the ICP filing is obtained, Alibaba Cloud notifies the specified users of the application progress, application review results, and review results for specific items by using multiple methods. We recommend that you determine the contacts and notification methods and configure the settings by referring to this topic before you apply for an ICP filing. This ensures that the ICP filing application is not affected by delayed receipt of notifications.

Background information

During the application process of an ICP filing and after the ICP filing is obtained, Alibaba Cloud sends notifications of the application review results, application progress, and review results for specific items to the ICP filing owner and ICP filing contacts by using emails and internal messages. Before you apply for an ICP filing, you must configure the contacts and notification methods in the Message Center console. This ensures that no notifications are missed. Delayed receipt of notifications may affect subsequent application operations.
