# Notifications

In the **Setup** → **Notifications** chip, you can configure the notifications sent to users for these specific Data Watcher events:

* cut-off ended with an error
* cut-off warning (when the cut-off is about to expire)
* flow completed successfully
* flow in error

Moreover, a default template can be configured.

To create a new notification, follow these steps:

1. Click the **NEW** button.
2. In the **New notification channel** window, enter the name and description of the notification channel you are configuring.
3. Select a template for each event listed. Note that templates must be already configured. Refer to the [Email Templates](/data-watcher-1.21/setup/email-templates.md) page for details.
4. Select a connection in the **Select connection** panel on the right. If no connections are listed, create a new connection by clicking the + button and filling in these fields:
   1. **Name**: name of the connection you are creating
   2. **System Sender Email**: address sending the notification message via email
   3. **Host**: address of the SMTP server
   4. **Port**: port of the SMTP server
   5. **Authentication**: enable this button if you want authentication. The Username and Password fields will appear. Enter the user identifier for connection and its password.
   6. **StartTLS**: enable this button if you want to use the STARTTLS protocol.
   7. **Max Connections**: maximum number of connections
   8. **Maximum Retries**: maximum number of reconnection attempts
   9. **Retry Interval**: number of seconds waited before retrying a connection
5. Confirm by clicking the **Create** button. The connection will be added to the list. Select it to confirm.
6. Click the **Create** button to confirm. Your notification email will appear in the result list.

When Data Watcher is in a bundle with Data Mover, the email notification channel is configured as explained on the [Configuring a new Email Notification Channel](/data-mover-1.21/notification-channels/configure-a-new-email-notification-channel.md) page.
