# Configure partner notifications by email

> Choose which partner notifications go out by email, scope them to the right partners, and turn on reply-by-email so partners respond from their inbox.

{/* Email is the default channel and works for every configurable partner notification. This guide
  covers the whole job: enable the events that matter, turn on Mail for each, scope delivery to
  the right partners with segments, and switch on reply-by-email so a partner can respond from
  their inbox and have it land back in Introw. Reach for it to keep partners engaged off-portal
  without overwhelming them. */}

## What you'll achieve

Partner notifications delivered by email for the events you care about, scoped to the right partners, with reply-by-email turned on so partners can respond from their inbox. Partners stay engaged off-portal and their replies land back in Introw.

## Before you start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm partner emails">
    Partners need valid email addresses on their contacts. See [Troubleshoot partner email delivery](./troubleshoot-partner-email-delivery) if someone is missing messages.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Partner Notifications">
    Go to [Notification settings](https://app.introw.io/settings/notifications). Notifications are grouped by area, **Pipeline**, **Portal activity**, **Submissions**, **Tasks**, and **Learning**, so you can scan and toggle them by section.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the notification types">
    Turn on the events that drive action for your program. Pipeline (deal and object updates), announcements, submission outcomes, and task assignments are common starting points. Leave lower-value types off until partners need them, since too many notifications overwhelm rather than engage.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on Mail">
    For each enabled notification, check **Mail** to send it by email. Uncheck to skip email for that event. Email is available for every partner notification, so this is the channel that reaches everyone with a valid address.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scope who receives it">
    Open a notification's detail page and use **Segments** to limit delivery to a specific partner audience, for example a tier or region. Leave segments empty to reach all eligible partners. Use this to send program-specific emails only to the partners they apply to.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use reply-by-email">
    Collaboration emails, comments, deal and object updates, and submission outcomes, include **Respond via email**. Partners can reply from their inbox and the response appears in Introw. For commission payouts, partners can reply with their invoice attached.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the sender">
    To route replies to a real person, send from each partner's assigned manager, see [Wire partner ownership](/features/partners/team/guides/wire-partner-ownership).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor delivery">
    After enabling a notification, the **Last sent** column updates after the next real event, and **Insights** shows emails sent and opened, so you can confirm the channel is firing.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

**Insights** shows emails sent and opened, and **Last sent** updates on the row after the next event on the events you enabled Mail for.
