The settings is below:

- User ID: [blank]
- Password: [blank]

CONTACT GROUPS
In the following example, there is a contact group configured in VMR with the following properties:
- Group Name: Alert Group
- Email Alias: alertgroup
To send alerts to members of this contact group, set the recipients email in the email alert profile as alertgroup@fluidsms.com.
For more information on managing contacts, please refer to Manage Contacts.
