# Overview

Orbit Wholesale B2B automatically sends branded email notifications at key points in the B2B registration flow.

***

## When emails are sent

| Email                    | Sent to        | Trigger                                              |
| ------------------------ | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **New submission**       | You (merchant) | A customer submits the registration form             |
| **Application approved** | Customer       | You manually approve a submission                    |
| **Application rejected** | Customer       | You manually reject a submission                     |
| **Auto-approved**        | Customer       | Auto-approve is enabled and a submission is received |

***

## Default behavior

Out of the box, the app uses a built-in email relay (no setup required). Emails are sent from the app's default sender address.

To send emails from your own domain (e.g. `noreply@yourbrand.com`), [configure your SMTP settings](/orbit-b2b-docs/email-notifications/smtp-setup.md).

***

## Customizing emails

You can fully customize all 4 email templates — subject line, body content, and shortcodes — from **Registration → Email Settings**.

Each template has a rich-text editor with formatting options. Use [shortcodes](/orbit-b2b-docs/email-notifications/shortcodes.md) to insert dynamic values like the customer's name, group, or a rejection edit link.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://orbit-b2b.gitbook.io/orbit-b2b-docs/email-notifications/overview.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.
