Set up application alerts

Setting up application alerts allows you to be automatically notified when user permissions change, if an automatic import fails, or if an import is paused for an extended period of time for a particular application. When email notifications are sent, they originate from the email address specified in the System Configuration > General Settings > SMTP tab area.

Note

  • By default, an automatic import must fail 3 times consecutively before an email is sent. This setting can be customized within the System Configuration > Applications > Scheduled imports tab.
  • The consecutive failure threshold applies only to scheduled imports. If a manual import fails, no notification is sent.
  • You will also receive a notification if an import remains paused for more than one hour. Imports can be automatically paused when a significant change in the number of users or permissions is detected — this is a built-in data integrity safeguard that flags unexpected changes for review before they are applied.
  • If a scheduled import completes successfully but no permission changes are detected, no notification is sent.
  • If you want to learn to set up email notices related to provisioning events, refer to the provisioning documentation

To set up application alerts, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Applications list, select the application for which you want to set up alert messages. The Applications Details page appears.

  2. In the top right corner of the page, select the Notifications button. The bell turns green when the option is enabled.

    When an import results in additions or changes to user permissions, you will be notified via an email message.
