# Notifications

### Email

You can configure these email settings in order to get notifications when users request content and when content you've requested is marked available by Plex.

#### From Address

Modify this if you want the email to show up as something other than who you authenticate as. For example `petio@myemail.com` or `brucewillis@myemail.com`

#### Username

This is the username you use to log in. Most of the time is your actual email or sometimes you can use just the first part without specifying `@myemail.com`

#### Password

I think I don't really have to do write what a password is, do I? However, this is the password you use to log in to the email account. Not your Plex password, not your Petio password and not the password to your bank. I really hope you aren't using the same password across those 3 services...

**NOTE:** If you are using Gmail make sure [to read ](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833)what to do if you use 2FA on your account.
{% endhint %}

#### SMTP Server

This one is all dependent on who your provider is, if you self host your own email server I hope you know your SMTP server. 

#### Port

The port is again dependent on your provider. Below you can find a table for the most common providers with SMTP server, and their SSL/TLS ports

| Mail Provider           | SMTP Server          | TLS Port | SSL Port |
| ----------------------- | -------------------- | -------- | -------- |
| Gmail                   | smtp.gmail.com       | 587      | 465      |
| GSuite/Google Workspace | smtp-relay.gmail.com | 587      | N/A      |
| SendGrid                | smtp.sendgrid.net    | 587      | 465      |
| MailGun                 | smtp.mailgun.org     | 587      | N/A      |

Depending on what port you pick you might need to be sure **to not check** the box that says "Use Secure"
{% endhint %}
