1. No, you can send the notification manually from the Auctions grid in the Action menu by clicking on **Wining Bid Email Notify** and/or **Winning Bid Text Notify**.
2. These are standard messages and cannot be edited.
3. To send a custom message, use **Send Text Message** or **Send Direct Email** instead to create a personal message.
