+**Important:** You can also change notifier behavior on a per-command basis, e.g. disable mail or gotify by providing ALL notifier variables as environment variables where the command is issued, for example in a systemd .service file.
+
+```shell
+# ...
+
+[Service]
+# ...
+Environment="NOTIFIER_GOTIFY_ENABLED=false"
+Environment="NOTIFIER_MAIL_ENABLED=true"
+Environment="NOTIFIER_MAIL_ADDRESS=another-mail-different-from-your-global-config@domain.tld"
+
+# ...
+```
+

 Otherwise, services and scripts don't depend on each other, but have hints that they can be combined (out-commented line in service files for `systemd_failure_notify@.service` for example).
 
 Examples are given inside `usr/share/doc/system-helpers` and *man pages* are also available.
