Get alerts somewhere you already check, with no setup at all
The simplest destination: no app, no key, no webhook — just an inbox
Send InfraNest alerts to an email address and work from your inbox instead of switching into another app. Once connected:
- Acknowledge from the message: mark an incident as being handled, in your name, and stop the repeat alerts without opening InfraNest.
- Read the recovery next to the problem: the alert and the message saying it's over sit in the same conversation, so you never read one without the other.
- Approve or investigate in place: approve a waiting automation or workspace request from the email, or open an AI assistant conversation on an open incident with the question already written.
- Silence or delay from the alert: silence a down monitor or a quiet server for an hour, or push a certificate-expiry reminder back a week, without leaving the message.
- Catch what other destinations drop: if a chat app, channel or webhook stops working, the alert comes here instead, addressed to whoever answers for it.

What you can do

Full setup guideQuestions
#Can different monitors or domains send to different addresses?
Yes. Routing is chosen per object, so a monitor, server, DNS zone or domain can each be pointed at its own destination, including a different email address for each.
#How is this different from my personal notification settings?
This destination controls where a workspace's alerts go, not what you personally receive as a user. Your own notification preferences are managed separately in your account settings.
#What happens if the email address stops working or bounces?
InfraNest keeps sending to the address you saved, so if it starts bouncing you'll want to update it. Since email is also the fallback for other broken destinations, it's worth keeping this address accurate.
#Can InfraNest change anything in my email account?
No. InfraNest only sends messages to the address you give it — there's no account access, inbox changes or settings on your side for it to touch.
#What do I need before connecting Email?
Just an email address you check — no app, bot or key required. setup guide
