Overview

An email alert notifies recipients when a certain type of event occurs, for example, session abort, host failure, system alert.  An email is sent to all listed recipients whenever a selected event type is triggered by that job.

An email alert consists of a unique name, a selection of event types, and a list of email addresses.  The event types depend on the job type.  You create email alerts for a job type in Preferences.  After you create an alert, you apply it to a job when creating or editing a job of the same type.  For example, an email alert created in the Preferences for File Collaboration job can be applied only to File Collaboration jobs.

See Email Configuration for configuring your SMTP email connection.  This must be configured before email alerts can be sent.
