Configure Email Notifications

Before you can configure alerts and notifications, you must enable email notifications. In addition, you must link at least one active mailbox to be used for sending notifications.

To create a new linked email:

1. At the MSP level, navigate to Settings > Environment.

2. In the Notifications tile, check if the Current status is Enabled. If it is not Enabled, select Disabled to enable it.

   

3. Select Link mailbox.

4. Review the onscreen information, and then select Login.

   Note: When you select Login, you are redirected to a sign in page for the Send From user.

5. Sign in as a user with an active mailbox to be used as the Send From address for email notifications.

   The mailbox is added to the list of linked email addresses.

6. Repeat the steps above for every mailbox you wish to link.

Examples of Conditions

Auto-scale errors: This condition triggers when any task started by the Auto-scale User results in an error.

Failed Desktop Image Creation: This condition triggers when either the "Power off & set as image" or the "Update 'set as image' schedule configuration" tasks end in an error.
