# Generic Erasure Email integration

A _Generic Erasure Email integration_ allows Fides to send a weekly email to a generic email address of your choice, containing the identities of all the data subjects that have submitted an erasure request in the past week.

_Generic Erasure Emails_ can be used to notify a third-party vendor of their obligations to erase any personal data associated with the provided identities.

## Prerequisites

In order to setup a _Generic Erasure Email integration_, you'll first need to configure an email provider. See our guide for [configuring a message service](/content/docs/privacy-requests/guides/identity-verification#configure-a-messaging-service/index.html).
