# Sending Weekly Automated Emails

SmarterU enables you to configure your account to send automated email notifications to learners, [supervisors](/v1/docs/adding-and-removing-supervisors), and users with reporting permissions (i.e., [VLR](/v1/docs/group-permission-view-learner-results-vlr), [GM](/v1/docs/group-permission-group-manager-gm), or [administrators](/v1/docs/adding-an-administrator)).

When the [weekly automated emails are enabled for an account](/v1/docs/sending-weekly-automated-emails#enabling-weekly-automated-emails-for-the-account), SmarterU sends the [Weekly Reminder email](/v1/docs/system-email-templates-weekly-emails#weekly-reminder-to-learner) to learners and the [Weekly Summary Report email](/v1/docs/system-email-templates-weekly-emails#weekly-summary-report) to supervisors and users with reporting permissions.

The [Weekly Reminder email that is sent to learners](/v1/docs/system-email-templates-weekly-emails#weekly-reminder-to-learner) summarizes their course enrollments and their progress and due date for those courses. It also displays the status of their learning plans and certifications.

The [Weekly Summary Report email](/v1/docs/system-email-templates-weekly-emails#weekly-summary-report) that is sent to [supervisors](/v1/docs/adding-and-removing-supervisors) and [users with reporting permissions](/v1/docs/user-access-roles#users-and-their-reporting-access) summarizes the number of learners and course enrollment status by group. This email includes links to a pre-filtered [Enrollment Report](/v1/docs/enrollment-report) or [Learning Plan Report](/v1/docs/learning-plan-report) that lists the learners included in the metric.
