# Branding External Crowdsourcing Notification Emails
MetaLocator’s crowdsourcing features send automated notification emails when end-users submit updates, corrections, or feedback regarding locations. These emails can be fully customized using the **User Notification Template**, found in the Interface Builder. This article explains how to access and update this template.

The **User Notification Template** supports:
* Custom HTML

* `{{body}}` — main email body content
(LOCATOR_CLAIM_EMAIL_ACCESS_APPROVED_BODY)

To modify the email:
