This time, we will explain how to set up notifications for Amelia.

Amelia's notification settings

After activating the plugin, Amelia-related settings will be added to the left sidebar.
From there, open [Notifications].

Amelia > Notifications > For Customers

First, you can find email settings for customers under Amelia > Notifications.

Regarding service reservations

Amelia > Announcements > For staff

You can set up emails for staff at the same time as for customers.

If you want to send emails to people other than customers and staff

There are only two types of emails available: one for customers and one for staff. If you want to send emails to a different email address, such as an administrator, you can register an additional email address in Settings > Notifications > Basic Settings.
