# How to customize emails sent through OpenReview

Emails can be sent to users of your venue programmatically using the API or from certain pages like the Program Chair console. They can be personalized to include the recipient's name or other information using email template tags.

There are two types of email template tags: Tags that are handled on the backend by the OpenReview API, and tags that are replaced on the frontend (in the browser).&#x20;

Backend tags can be used anywhere, including when sending messages directly using the API or via the openreview-py library. Frontend tags can only be used on specific pages, such as the Area Chair console and the Program Chair console. A list of all available tags is below:

Backend tags: `{{fullname}}`

Frontend tags: `[[SUBMIT_REVIEW_LINK]]`

If you want to include further customizations, including links to papers or reviews, you can [message users with the python client.](/how-to-guides/communication/how-to-send-messages-with-the-python-client.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openreview.net/how-to-guides/communication/how-to-customize-emails-sent-through-openreview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
