How to Customize Notifications
Overview
This article explains how to customize notification templates in Netwrix Directory Manager (formerly GroupID). Directory Manager generates notifications for events such as group management, workflows, and profile validation. These notifications are sent to administrators, object owners, and other specified recipients.
Email notification templates are predefined and can be customized for the following elements:
- Logo
- Subject line
- Message content and formatting
Instructions

Log in to the Directory Manager Admin portal and click Notification Editor. The editor displays a list of all notifications generated by Directory Manager.

Double-click a notification template to open it for editing.

Click the HTML or Source tiles in the ribbon to edit the template in the WYSIWYG or HTML editor.

Customize the template as needed:
- Change the logo: Remove the current logo and insert a new one.
- Change the subject line: Click the Title tile. In the Edit Title dialog box, update the subject line and click OK.
- Format the notification content: Use formatting options to apply heading styles, change font and size, adjust alignment, and more.
