Connect email

Send InfraNest alerts to any email address you choose — the simplest destination to set up, since it needs nothing from another service.

Overview

• Email is the easiest destination to connect: no webhook, bot, or key required.
• Just enter the address alerts should go to, and you're set.
• Works well for shared team inboxes, or a personal address that forwards to your phone for anything urgent.

Connect email

1. Go to Alerts, then open Destinations.
2. Select Add destination and choose Send alerts to any email address.
3. Enter the Email format address alerts should go to (for example, [email protected]).
4. Select Send test to send a test message and confirm it arrives.
5. Select Save & test.

Send alerts to email

1. Once the destination is saved, it appears as an option wherever you choose which alerts go where.
2. Select your email destination when setting up Notify me when… for a monitor, server, DNS zone, or domain.
3. Routing is chosen per object, so each one can send to a different address if you like.

TipUse an address you actually watch. A shared team inbox works well; a personal address that forwards to a phone works better for anything urgent.

Tips

• One destination sends to one address. Add another destination for a second recipient, or point it at a distribution list your mail provider manages.
• This is separate from your personal notification preferences. Changing which emails you receive as a user is done in your account settings — a destination is about where an organisation's alerts go.

Troubleshooting

NoteIf a test never arrives, check your spam folder first, then confirm the address is spelled correctly. Mail providers sometimes hold the first message from a new sender.
