   In Civio Engage, you can send email notifications to participants based on their interests in tags, regions, or projects.

Creating an email and outbound notification
-------------------------------------------

To create a new email and outbound notification:

1. In the left-hand menu, click the **Emails** icon.
2. Click on the **+** icon located on the right hand side of the screen.
3. Give the outbound notification a **Title**.
4. Provide a brief **Summary**.
5. Add your **Email content**. This is the main body of the email. Use the [Rich content editor](/articles/9180044670223-How-to-use-the-Rich-Content-editor) to format your message.
6. Include a **Call to action (CTA) URL** *(Note: This must be a full URL starting with "http").*

    - We recommend you use the CTA to link to project or content to ensure recipients have easy access to information that's relevant to the email.
7. In the **Recipients** section, select from the following criteria:

    - **Interested in tags:** Select from the dropdown list of tags/topics. Users who follow these tags will receive the notification.
    - **Interested in regions:** Specify any relevant regions. Users who follow these regions will receive the notification.
    - **Follows projects:** Enter keywords to search for projects. Users who follow these projects will receive the notification.
8. When you have finished, you can either **Save as draft**, **Send for approval** or **Approve,** depending on your [user role](/articles/9176861358095-User-roles) *(Note: 'Approving' will **not** send the email, this is just a workflow stage and will prepare the content for sending).*

Sending an email and outbound notification
