# The general settings for an email campaign type

The EXM component provides two message types:

- Regular message
- Automated message

The email campaign types are located in /sitecore/content/Email/Message Types.

To configure the general settings of the email campaign types, edit the **Default** item in the corresponding folder.

The **Default** items contain the following setting:

- **Campaigns Position** – The default campaign category that stores campaigns related to the message type. Marketers can change this value in the EXM interface.
