How do I add an email address for communications and notifications?

This article will help government users add an email address to their communications and notifications, whether the email address is associated with a user account or not.

Last updated on 22 Jan, 2026

An email address can be added for notifications by either adding an existing user email address or adding a new email address that is not associated with a user account. If your agency is using multiple modules in Oxcart, notifications must be configured per module. Only account Admins and Managers can add an email address to the Communications screen.

NOTE: If an email address is added, which is not associated with a user account, only an account Admin and Manager will be able to make changes. Because the owner of the email address is not a user, they have no access to Oxcart.

To add an email address for an existing user:

  1. Click the blue Add Recipient button

To add an email address that is not associated with an existing user:

NOTE: Be sure the owner of the email address has access to their email. They will be required to verify the email address by receiving a 6-digit, one-time-password (OTP).

  1. Click the Add Recipient button
