Before getting started, you’ll first need to make sure WP Mail SMTP is [installed and activated](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-install-the-wp-mail-smtp-plugin/) on your WordPress site and that you’ve [verified your license](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-verify-your-wp-mail-smtp-license/).

## Accessing the Email Alerts Page

To begin setting up email alerts from the WordPress dashboard, go to **WP Mail SMTP » Settings** and click on the **Alerts** tab.

![Where to find Alerts in WP Mail SMTP Settings](https://wpmailsmtp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/email-alert-settings.png)Once here, scroll down to the Discord section. To get started, you’ll need to create a webhook connection on your Discord server. Then, use the webhook URL to establish a connection between your site and Discord.

To do this, toggle the **Discord Alerts** option to the **ON** position.

## Creating a Webhook Connection

To start, you’ll need to [log in to your Discord server](https://discord.com/channels/). Once there, click the Server’s name at the top left corner to open additional settings.

![Open Discord server options](https://wpmailsmtp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/open-server-options-1.png)Then, select **Server Settings** from the dropdown menu.
