Spectrum Technology Platform can send email alerts to notify you of important events. Email notifications can be sent as a result of conditions within dataflows and process flows, and when time-based licenses, databases, and other items are about to expire.
Spectrum Technology Platform does not have a built-in mail server, so in order to enable email notification you must configure it to use an external SMTP server.
Example: Configuring a Mail Server
You have an SMTP server named mail.example.com. You want to use this mail server to handle email notifications sent from the Spectrum Technology Platform server. You have created an account on the SMTP server called Spectrum123 with a password of Example123, and the email address for this account is spectrum.notification@example.com.
To configure notification with this information, you would complete the fields as follows:
- Host
- mail.example.com
- From address
- spectrum.notification@example.com
- User name
- Spectrum123
- Password
- Example123
