> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

In the **Email templates** application, you can find the [Email templates](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/managing-email-templates.md) used for the automatic email notifications related to user registration.

Make sure you have selected the global site in the **Site** selector and the template name contains _Membership - Registration_.

![Email templates for registration](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13/customizing-user-registration-emails/Email+templates_registration.png "Email templates for registration")

Messages based on the following templates are sent to users when they register, depending on the site configuration.

- **Membership - Registration approved** – informs users that their account has been approved by an administrator.

The templates below are used for notifications sent to administrators. To display them, make sure the template name contains _Membership - Notification_.

- **Membership - Notification - New registration** – notifies administrators when a new user registers on the site.
- **Membership - Notification - Waiting for approval** ~~-~~ lets administrators know that a new user is waiting for their approval.

Any of these templates can be edited as needed, so you may fully customize the content of the emails. You can use the following [macro expressions](https://docs.kentico.com/13/macro-expressions.md) to include dynamic values in the template text.

- **{% FirstName %}** – the first name of the new user.
- **{% LastName %}** – the last name of the new user.
- **{% Email %}** – the email address entered during registration by the user.
- **{% UserName %}** – the user name of the new account.

In addition to the expressions listed above, you can also use any other macros in the templates.
