# Notifications

In the notifications settings, you can edit edit course related email notifications, without affecting emails related to other courses. 

## Email list 

On this page, you'll find the list of emails you can edit:

* **Invitation to a course**: this email is sent to an accepted member when you invite them to the course. Please note that this email is only sent once: if you try to invite this member again, they will not receive this 2nd email! 
* **Invitation to a course (non-member)**: this email is sent to a user who is not yet a member of your Spot. Please note, this email is only sent once: if you try to re-invite this member, they not receive this 2nd email! 

## Editing an email 

From the template window, you can preview the email that guests will receive. To make a modification, click on the `Edit` button in the bottom right-hand corner. 

To **modify the sender's name, the subject and the e-mail header**, be careful to respect the character limit imposed by the editor. You can include emojis and **variables related to the recipient and the course**. 😎 

#### List of variables

<table><thead><tr><th width="267">Variable name</th><th>Correspondence</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>{{{spotName}}}</td><td>Name of your Spot.</td></tr><tr><td>{{{firstName}}}</td><td>First name of the member who will receive the email.</td></tr><tr><td>{{{email}}}</td><td>Email address of the membre who will receive the email.</td></tr><tr><td>{{{courseName}}}</td><td>Course title.</td></tr><tr><td>{{{invitedByFullName}}}</td><td>Name of the member who created the Course.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The e-mail content is divided into 4 parts:&#x20;

* **The message before the Course access button.** This is limited to 2000 characters. You can insert variables related to the recipient and the course.&#x20;
* **The course access button.** This is not mandatory and can be deactivated if course guests are already Spot members, and can find your course in the dedicated section. *However, we strongly* *recommend keeping it enabled.*
* **The message after the access button.** This is limited to 2000 characters. You can once again insert variables related to the recipient and the course.&#x20;
* **The e-mail banner.** This is optional and will appear at the top of the e-mail if you choose to include one. The imported image must be less than 5 MB in size and in PNG, JPG or GIF format. *We advise you to import rectangular banners.*

Once you've modified the template information, you can click on `Save` in the bottom right-hand corner to save your changes.&#x20;

## Consequences of modification

A notification email for a course can be edited at two levels: within the Spot settings, and in the settings for each individual course.

* **Spot Settings**:
  * In the Spot settings, there is a **"default" version** of this email.
  * If you edit this "default" version, the changes will apply to all new courses and to any courses using the default version of this email.
* **Course Settings**:
  * In the settings for each course, there is a **"specific" version** of this email.
  * If you edit this "specific" version, the changes will apply only to that particular course and will not affect the "general" or "specific" versions of other courses.
  * If the "specific" email has not been edited, the "general" template will be used to send the notification.
  * When editing the "specific" email, a `Reset Template` button is available to revert the email to its "default" general state.
