How to Send Module Release Notification Emails from AccessAlly

In this article, we’re going to set up Module Release Notification Emails. These emails notify users’ that a dripped module of your course is now available.

Why We Recommend an SMTP Plugin

WordPress emails may land in the SPAM folder. To get the best email deliverability we recommend installing and activating a free SMTP plugin (if you haven’t already) to ensure payment module notification emails land in the inbox and not the SPAM folder.
