[1]

Install SMTP Server on all Nodes, refer to here.
If you use SMTP only on localhost, select [Local only] during the installation and it does not need to configure postfix manually.

[2] In addition to basic Keepalived settings like here, set Email notification on all Nodes.
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
global_defs {
    router_id node01
    # add SMTP setting
    notification_email {
        root@localhost
    }
    notification_email_from root@node01.srv.world
    smtp_server localhost
    smtp_connect_timeout 30
}

vrrp_instance VRRP1 {
    state MASTER
    # nopreempt
    interface enp1s0
    virtual_router_id 101
    priority 200
    advert_int 1
    virtual_ipaddress {
        10.0.0.30/24
    }
    # add
    smtp_alert
}

root@node01:~#
systemctl reload keepalived
[3] That's OK. Verify Email notification.
# node that some troubles happened
