Configuring system email notifications

Configure your host email settings so that you can send email notifications to users from a specified email address.

Notifications can be related to user accounts (password recovery), or be related to email alerts from other Automation Suite services, such as Orchestrator.

To configure email preferences, log in to the host portal as a system administrator, make sure that Host is selected on the left, and click Settings.

Note: For Insights alerts and scheduled emails, an email server must be configured at installation time. See Using the configuration file for more details.

SMTP Host	The IP or Domain of the SMTP server.

Troubleshooting

For offline installations, if system emails are not sent and you encounter the error SslHandshakeException, make sure that both port 80 and port 587 are opened for the machine (single node | multi-node).

Email preference

Option	Description
Enable secure connection	If enabled, the connection is secured and a TLS certificate is required for the SMTP domain you are using. If disabled, the connection is not secured. Note: Both port 587 and port 80 must be opened during installation for this setting to work.
