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.

## Adding the Webhook URL

After enabling Webhook Alerts, copy the Webhook URL from the service you’d like to utilize and place it in the **Webhook URL** field.
