# 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.
