GC Notify - Configuring your service

GC Notify - Configuring your service - Transcription

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to configure your GC Notify service. You’ll need an existing GC Notify account, so if you haven’t created one yet, pause this video and watch our tutorial on getting started with GC Notify.

To begin configuring your GC Notify service, log into your account and click on the “settings” tab in the navigation menu.

On this page you can modify the settings of your first service like the service name and email address.

To change the name of your service, click “Change” here.

Change the name of your service, keeping in mind that your contacts will see your service name as the sender. 

To save your changes, click “Save” and then click “Back” to return to the service settings page.

You can also change your email address in the same way. Click “Change”, input a new email address and then click “Save”.  Remember that you can only edit the first portion of your email address. The “@notification.canada.ca” domain cannot be changed so keep your departmental policies in mind when using GC Notify.

Returning to the settings page, you can adjust other settings like the branding for your emails.

To change the branding of your emails, click “Change”.

On this page, you’ll have the option to change the language of the Government of Canada signature.

Below, you can also upload your own departmental emails header. Once you upload the header, the GC Notify team will review and insert the header into your emails. That way you can ensure that your emails respect your department’s branding and communication guidelines.

Finally, if you are planning on sending out text messages, you can change these settings at the bottom of the service settings page. You can switch text messages on or off and even choose to start your texts with the name of your service.

Thank you for using GC Notify.
