# TPRM email notifications

Email notifications are sent automatically for TPRM events across due diligence requests, third-party risk assessments, issues and tasks, and third-party portal activity.

Email notifications support timely awareness, review, and action across due diligence, third-party risk assessment, issue, task, and third-party portal activities.

These notifications are part of the base system. Availability and behavior may vary depending on configuration and installed TPRM applications. To customize notification content or recipients, see [Create an email notification](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/t_CreateANotification.md).

**Note:** Notification names are listed as they appear in the application and might not reflect current terminology used elsewhere in the product documentation. Notification availability and behavior can vary depending on installed applications, plugins, and product configuration.
