In the Email Settings, you can select to whom and when the email notifications will be delivered. Additionally, you can also customize the content of the email as well. To know the details of Email Settings, follow the guidelines with screenshots given below —
You will see certain options are enabled by default which can be modified at any time, and can add more options for sending and receiving email notifications as well.
First, select any option you want to add, customize or modify. Then, click on the Pencil Icon and a pop-up box will appear where you can enable notifications and customize email settings.
For instance, I selected the Ticket Created (To Customer) option to send email notifications right after a customer submits a support ticket; but, you can choose any option to suit your needs.

Click on the Send Attachments (Not Recommended) button to attach files to your email notifications.
Why is this button suggested as (Not Recommended)?
Sometimes when you attach any files to your email, it may face some delivery failure.
To avoid this situation and ensure that any kind of email is delivered without any hassle, we recommend using the FluentSMTP plugin. To learn the basic use of the FluentSMTP plugin, check this Documentation.

You can customize the subject name and body content of your email using the Email Subject field and Email Body box.
Also use the shortcodes from the Available Smartcodes list within the Email body or subject which will dynamically fetch various information like the Customer name, email, ticket ID, etc.
