# Email

This section allows you to configure an **SMTP relay** for sending email notifications to users and administrators when specific actions or events occur within WorkSpaces Manager.

We recommend using **Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)** to create and manage your SMTP relay. This can be configured using either a dedicated domain (for example, **nuvens.cloud**) or a subdomain (for example, **mail.nuvens.cloud**) in line with your organisation's email strategy.

Once configured, click **Validate Configuration** to verify connectivity and confirm that emails can be sent successfully.

To configure SES, follow the steps outlined on [**SES Configuration**](/install/appendices/ses-configuration.md) in the installation manual.

Under **Notifications**, configure the email settings used by WorkSpaces Manager.&#x20;

* **Default Email Address** — The sender address used for all WorkSpaces Manager notifications and automated emails.
* **Password Expiry** —  Specify how many days before expiry users should be notified.&#x20;
* **Simulate Password Expiry** —  Used for testing notification delivery.
* **Enable Email Reminders** — Send automated emails using the reminders configured under **Resources >** [**Email Templates**](/admin/resources-section/email-templates.md).

**Alternate Email** settings allow notifications to be sent to both a user's primary and alternate email addresses. When enabled, WorkSpaces Manager retrieves the alternate email address from Active Directory and sends a separate notification to each address. For configuration instructions, see [**Alternate Email Setup**](/admin/appendices/alternate-email-setup.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nuvens.cloud/admin/configuration-section/settings/email.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
