# How to set up automated emails for CrowdNewsroom participants

1. First, it’s important to activate the *Collect contact Information* option in your CrowdNewsroom settings. Your email will only be sent to participants who provided their email address within their CrowdNewsroom response.

2. You can configure your email in the Content tab of the CrowdNewsroom editor. To do this, click on the Email section in the menu on the left. You can freely adjust both the subject and the message of your email. To personalize the email, use the available merge tags.
