Email notification
With the Email notification function, you can configure an email alert to be sent using an external SMTP server.
Note!
If you want to configure an email alert with an attachment, use the Email attachment function instead.
SMTP settings
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol settings are required to connect to the external server.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Host name | Host name or IP address of the SMTP server. |
Port | The recommended ports are 465 (implicit TLS) and 587 (STARTTLS). Caution! Port 25 is not allowed as it does not transmit data securely. |
Username | Username of the SMTP server account. |
Password | Password of the SMTP server account. |
TLS enforcement
The Email notification function always transmits email over TLS. Encryption cannot be disabled.
The TLS mode is determined by the port:
Port | TLS mode | Standard |
|---|---|---|
465 | Implicit TLS (SMTPS) | RFC 8314 |
587 | STARTTLS with TLS required | RFC 6409, RFC 3207 |
If the destination SMTP server does not support the expected TLS mode for the port you configured, the stream fails. There is no fallback to an unencrypted connection.
New message
The details of the email that you are sending.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
From | Email address of the sender. For example, Note! Sensitive parameters cannot be used in the From field. |
Recipient(s) | Email address of the recipient. Multiple addresses can be added by using either space ( ) or comma (,) as separators. Note! Sensitive parameters cannot be used in the Recipient(s) field. |
Subject | Subject of the email. Note! Sensitive parameters cannot be used in the Subject field. |
Message | The text is to be included in the email. Note! Sensitive parameters cannot be used in the Message field. |
Hint!
You can use Variable insertion in all the fields in the New message section:
