=== Add email notifications
// tag::case-notifications[]
You can configure email notifications that occur when users are assigned to
cases.
For hosted {kib} on {ess}:
. Add the email addresses to the monitoring email allowlist. Follow the steps in
{cloud}/ec-watcher.html#ec-watcher-allowlist[Send alerts by email].
+
--
You do not need to take any more steps to configure an email connector or update
{kib} user settings, since the preconfigured Elastic-Cloud-SMTP connector is
used by default.
--
For self-managed {kib}:
. Create a preconfigured email connector.
+
--
NOTE: At this time, email notifications support only preconfigured connectors,
which are defined in the `kibana.yml` file. For examples, refer to
{kibana-ref}/email-action-type.html#preconfigured-email-configuration[Preconfigured email connector]
and {kibana-ref}/email-action-type.html#configuring-email[Configuring email connectors for well-known services].
--
. Set the `notifications.connectors.default.email` {kib} setting to the name of
your email connector.
. If you want the email notifications to contain links back to the case, you
must configure the {kibana-ref}/settings.html#server-publicBaseUrl[server.publicBaseUrl] setting.
When you subsequently add assignees to cases, they receive an email.
