Sending Email

You can configure emails to be sent when an event occurs and can customize the message. Messages consist of a combination of free text and HPDU placeholders. The placeholders represent information that is pulled from the HPDU and inserted into the message. For example, [USERNAME] logged into the device on [TIMESTAMP] translates to Mary logged into the device on 2019-June-30 21:00. For a list and definition of available variables, see Placeholders for Custom Messages.

1. Select Device Settings→ Event Rules → + New Action.
2. For Action, select Send email.
3. In the Recipient Email Addresses field, specify the email address(es) of the recipient(s), with a comma to separate multiple email addresses.
