missed, telling me I have a message with a link to click.

If you mean getting a notification email to a regular email address, or a text message to cell phone, I don't know of any capability for that. As far as I know, you have to be logged into DU and be on some DU page (and loaded or refreshed more recently than the DM) in order to see the notification.
