Email notifications

Introduction

OpenSpecimen sends email notifications to users of the system on various operations. For this to be enabled, the system administrator has to configure the email settings through the user interface.

To enable OpenSpecimen to send notifications, the appropriate values for the various properties under the ‘Email’ module of settings must be configured first. Refer ‘Module: Emails’ section for various properties and refer steps to configure those properties.

Follow the below steps to configure the email notifications settings:

  1. Log in as a super admin user.

  2. Click on the ‘Settings’ card from the home page.

  3. Click on the ‘Notifications’ module of settings.

  4. Click on any of the properties whose notification has to be enabled or disabled.

5. By default, all notifications are enabled. Select option ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled.’

6. If ‘Enabled’, the system will send an email notification; if ‘Disabled’, the system won't send the specific notification.
