The Email notifier object is used to configure the electronic messages, which then can be sent to the user when a macro or an automatic rule is triggered.

Creating the Email notifier object

To create the Email notifier object, do the following:

1. In the list of devices, click Create and select Email notifier.
   

2. Click the Apply button.

The E-mail notifier object will appear in the list of devices.

Configuring the Email notifier object

To configure the Email notifier object, do the following:

4. Select the mode for sending the Email notifications: through AxxonNet or through the specified SMTP Server (4).

   To send notifications through AxxonNet, you should connect to it (see Configuring a domain in AxxonNet). AxxonNet has a limit of 10 messages a day.

   
   

   Message through AxxonNet will be sent within a minute.
