-### Worker aware async scheduler :clock1:
+### Worker aware async scheduler
 The project uses the APScheduler library to schedule tasks in the background.
 The APScheduler library is a powerful and flexible in-process task scheduler with Cron-like capabilities.
 It allows you to schedule jobs to run at specific times or intervals, and it supports multiple job stores, triggers, and executors.
 The library is designed to be easy to use and highly configurable, making it suitable for a wide range of use cases.
 It was added to project in version 4.0.0a5 with Redis as event broker and SQLAlchemy as data store.

+
+### SMTP setup
+The project uses the `smtplib` library to send emails.
+The `smtplib` library is a built-in Python library that provides a simple interface for sending emails using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
+It allows you to connect to an SMTP server, send an email message, and disconnect from the server.
+The library is easy to use and provides a flexible and powerful way to send emails from your Python applications.
+
+SMTPEmailService provides a reusable interface to send emails via an SMTP server.
+This service supports plaintext and HTML emails, and also allows sending template-based emails using the Jinja2 template engine.
+It is implemented as a singleton to ensure that only one SMTP connection is maintained
+throughout the application lifecycle, optimizing resource usage.
