# How Do I Send Customers Emails Celebrating Achievements?

> Send your customers email notifications with their latest achievements and drive them back to your platform.

Available for all Gameball customers except for free packages

Enable the email notifications feature to send your customers emails every time they earn cashback, points, or complete reward campaigns on your platform.

Sometimes, customers earn points or win reward campaigns while they are not on your platform — for example, if their sign-up anniversary or birthday triggers a reward on a specified day without any recent interaction from their side. This is where email notifications can be very useful. Enabling email notifications can help you drive back your customers to visit your platform.

<Note>
  Customers who do not want to keep receiving your emails can easily unsubscribe through a small hyperlink at the bottom of every Gameball email.

  <Step title="Activate Email Notifications">
    To activate any of your customer email notifications, all mandatory fields must be filled first. For templates you have configured, tested, and are ready to activate, go to the tab of the same email type and switch the toggle to **Active**.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I remove the 'Powered by Gameball' from the email footer?" icon="circle-question">
    No. At Gameball, we follow international email regulations like the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and Canada's CASL. These laws require that all promotional or automated emails include clear sender information and an unsubscribe option. This is why that section of the email footer is fixed — it is there to protect both you and your customers and to ensure that all emails sent through Gameball remain compliant.
