Email notifications

You configure email notifications at any time by clicking the Email notifications ‘Edit’ button.
Please note that only the Workspace Owner or the Workspace Admin  can be used as a recipient of the email notifications.

Send an email on selected events – Select this option to enable email notifications to be automatically sent on the selected events in the events list. If you select a top level node only, like ‘Web Protection’, you will only receive Disabled/Enabled notifications for that specific guard.
Your mailbox parameters can then be configured by entering the appropriate details into the fields for Sender’s address, Recipients address, SMTP server and Port. If authentication is required, select the option SMTP Authentication, choose your desired setting ([Without TLS], [Implicit TLS), [Require TLS], or [Explicit TLS]) from the adjacent drop down menu and then enter your username and password into the appropriate fields.
