  2. Select Email under Platform.

Configuration options appear on the left:

Your installation must have a configured connection to a mail server to send email notifications. Mail server configurations set at the instance scope override server level configurations.

For each notification template, you can view available template variables at the bottom of the page. Use these variables to populate emails dynamically.

This name and email address appear in the From field in all email messages sent by the virtual instance.
