How long does USCIS send E-notification to confirm that they've received renew application?

My renew application for the green card was sent for a week but I haven't heard from them. It was certified mail so I know that it was delivered. Usually how long does it take for them to send us some notice that they've received our application?

Thanks!

USCIS has recently acknowledged that they are a bit backlogged in overall volume of applications and petitions so are taking longer than normal to issue receipt notices. That means that date entry is backlogged. Data entry is the trigger for e-mail notices also.
