Configuration of notifications sent by Softaculous
Customize Softaculous notifications in cPanel: choose what information to receive via email about installations, backups, and changes.
Introduction
If you have installed a script/application on hosting using Softaculous, you will receive emails related to available updates, changes made, backups, etc.
Softaculous offers the possibility to customize these notifications. We can choose to receive only some of them or to turn them off completely.
Requirements
- We will need the cPanel login credentials, received in the email with the administration details.
Steps
- After logging in to cPanel, we will go to the Software section and click on Softaculous Apps Installer.
- Once the Softaculous interface has loaded, we will click on Email Settings in the top right navigation bar.
- On the next page, we will be able to make the desired customizations.
In the first field Email Address we will be able to modify the email box where we receive notifications. Below, we will check the information we want to receive in the email box:
Installation Emails - details related to the installation.

Disable All Update Notifications Emails - if checked, you will no longer receive emails related to available updates for installed applications.
Email password in plain text - if checked, it will allow sending the passwords set to the email box.

After the customizations have been made, we will click the Edit Email Settings button at the bottom of the page.
