# Self-Service registration emails
To configure self-service registration emails, add the following code block to the `selfservice-registration.json` file:
```json
{
"name" : "emailValidation",
"identityEmailField" : "mail",
"emailServiceUrl" : "external/email",
"emailServiceParameters" : {
"waitForCompletion" : false
},
"from" : "info@example.com",
"subject" : "Register new account",
"mimeType" : "text/html",
"subjectTranslations" : {
"en" : "Register new account",
"fr" : "Créer un nouveau compte"
},
"messageTranslations" : {
"en" : "This is your registration email.
",
"fr" : "Ceci est votre mail d'inscription.
"
},
"verificationLinkToken" : "%link%",
"verificationLink" : "https://localhost:8443/#/registration/"
},
```
The code block includes default registration email messages in English (`en`) and French (`fr`). The `verificationLink` sent with the email takes users to the IDM self-registration URL.
As noted in [Managing User Self-Registration Over REST](uss-registration-config.html#uss-registration-rest), you can make these changes over the endpoint URI: `/openidm/config/selfservice/registration`
To configure self-service registration emails using the admin UI:
1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > User Registration.
2. On the User Registration page, select the Options tab.
3. Enable Email Validation.

| - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | If the Email Validation option is disabled, outbound email has not been configured. Click Configure Here, and refer to [Outbound email](../external-services-guide/email.html) for more information. |
4. In the Configure Validation Email window, enter the necessary information, and click Save.
Self-registration email changes made using the admin UI are saved to the `selfservice-registration.json` file.
