+# Use the Grafana Alerting - email integration to send email notifications 
+# when your alerts are firing. An email is sent when an alert fires and 
+# when an alert gets resolved.
+#
+# Note that you can customize the subject and message of the email using 
+# notification templates. However, you cannot add HTML and CSS to email 
+# notifications for visual changes.
