Configure certificate lifecycle recipient settings
Before you begin
By default, DigiCert sends these certificate lifecycle emails to these specific recipients:
Order confirmation: Administrator and Manager roles
Order rejection: User placing the order
Order approval: User placing the order and technical contact
Renewal: User placing the order and technical contact
These settings apply only to the certificate requester, organization contact, technical contact, and administrator and manager roles. The primary CertCentral administrator (typically, the individual who created the account), email addresses assigned to receive all account notifications, and additional email addresses added to the order still receive the certificate lifecycle emails.
Notice
When the requester is an administrator or an organization contact, we send an email letting them know DigiCert validated the organization, and now, they can get certificates for it.
Configure lifecycle recipient settings
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Settings > Notifications.
On the Notifications page, on the Notification settings tab, expand Advanced notification settings.
Under Certificate lifecycle recipient settings, add or remove email recipients or email notifications:
Receives order confirmation emails
User placing order
Organization contact
Technical contact
Administrator and Manager roles
Receives order rejection emails
User placing order
Organization contact
Technical contact
Administrator and Manager roles
Receives order approval emails
User placing order

Administrator and Manager roles
Receives renewal (expiring) and expired certificate emails
User placing order
Organization contact
Technical contact
Administrator and Manager roles
Notice
To no longer receive an email, uncheck all the recipients. CertCentral will stop sending that notification by default. Note that additional email addresses added to the order still receive the certificate lifecycle emails.
When done, click Save settings.
What's next
Going forward, CertCentral will use the updated certificate lifecycle email settings to determine to who to send certificate order emails.
On the certificate order form, we display a notification icon (a bell) indicating whether the organization and technical contacts are receiving certificate lifecycle emails:
A bell (email notifications enabled)
A bell with a line through it (email notifications disabled).
