# Messages
In the Appearance / Messages page, you can configure all the messages the application sends to the users when a certain event occurs.
This page is divided into several sections, each covering a specific set of messages.
- **Account and Security**: The set of messages that are sent when registering or updating an account.
- **Account Suspension**: The set of messages that are sent when an account is about to expire, has expired, or is being reactivated.
- **Alerts**: The default messages that are sent when an alarm is activated or cleared.
- **Partners**: The messages involved in managing client assignments to partners.
- **Payments**: The messages involved in payment processing.
- **Work Sessions**: The default messages that are sent when a work session is started or stopped.

The subject and body are available for messages sent only via email. Messages that can be sent through different channels (e.g., email, SMS, push) can have multiple texts to define, for example, short and long messages.
## Placeholders
Within the email subject and payload, you can use the placeholders to generate dynamic content.

### Alert activated and cleared
Within messages notifying alerts activation and clearing, you can use any general placeholder and any [event placeholder](/v1/docs/placeholders).
To comply with the GDPR, DPS users must be able to opt out of any notification that is not strictly necessary for the delivery of the service. To support this, you can insert the `unsubscribeUrl` placeholder in the body of your notification emails. The placeholder resolves to a URL that, when opened by the user, disables alert notifications. For more details about the DPS user experience, refer to the [User Profile](/v1/docs/dps-user-profile#unsubscribe-from-notifications) article.
