# Student Notifications

## Student Notifications Guide

In this article, we explain how you can **manage** and **customise** **Student Notifications.** Notifications are sent to students regarding major events, such as **account creation** and participation in **training campaigns** organised by their company.

**2.** Click on the **SMTP Configuration** button to choose which SMTP profile will be used to send the email notifications.

You can use any of your **customised** SMTP sending profiles, but if you have not created one yet, you can always use the one called **System** that is provided by default.

**3.** For this example, we will use the **default** system profile since we have not yet created a custom one.

**7.** It is advised that you **always** have the **Account Creation** notification **enabled.** The reason behind this is simply that the email notification sent to the users will contain their **initial credentials to access the user portal.**

**8.** Let’s preview one of the available notifications. When clicking on the **Preview** option of a notification, it will be displayed on the browser exactly as how it would appear in the actual email.
