# Campaign specific email notifications

## All emails received for campaign specific actions

***Path: Workspace Homepage >> Navigation Panel >> Campaign Management >> Campaign Specific Email Notifications***

| What are Campaign Specific Email Notifications? |
| --- |
| Campaign Specific Email Notifications are the emails Members, Moderators, and Administrators receive for actions and events that occur within a specific campaign. |

Every campaign-specific email uses the Campaign Banner as its header. If a Community Administrator has not customized the campaign banner, the Community email banner is used as the default. See Exceptions below for this fallback behavior.
