When you enter a contact’s email address here and click Save, RB automatically assigns this address to receive all notification email types. If you do not want this contact to receive certain types of notification emails and/or want other contacts to receive certain types of notification emails for this contact, see Managing notification emails.

Contact’s job title. Job titles are set in Lists > Contacts.
Category that best fits the contact. There is some overlap between Contact Type and Title. For example, a secretary at a law firm would be the same in both categories. But a lawyer who is also the owner of a law firm would be classified as Lawyer in Contact Type, but Owner in Title. Contact Type is set in Lists > Contacts.
