# Standard Emails

Beabee automatically sends standard emails for various events – for example, when a contact signs up for your community, makes a payment for a post, or participates in your CrowdNewsroom. Pre-made email templates are available for most of these events. You can enable, customize, or disable them. In this guide, we’ll show you step by step where to find the email templates and how to use them.

1. Log in to your beabee instance and click on *Settings* on the left.

3. Here you’ll find email templates for all possible use cases. In the *Description* column, you can see the exact purpose of each email, so you can decide whether you need the corresponding template.

4. The *Status* column shows whether the corresponding email is currently active, has been customized by you, or is not activated.

5. Below the list, you can set your default support address. All emails from your beabee instance will be sent from this address. Your domain is used automatically, so you can only customize the first part of the email address.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.beabee.io/help-center-english/onboarding-guide/customise-beabee/organisational-settings/standard-emails.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
