Email is always available. There is nothing to connect: an alertAlertOne rule that watches the stock of one variant, or one Assemblified item, at one location. When the available stock is at or below the alert's threshold, Alertified notifies the alert's recipients on the channels it uses. Read more → that uses Email sends to the addresses saved on that alert. The Emails tab in Settings is a list of addresses you reuse when you create alerts.
Saved emails and each alert’s recipients
Section titled “Saved emails and each alert’s recipients”There are two lists, and they do different jobs.
- Saved emails (Settings → Emails) is your address book. You pick from it when you create an alert. It does not send anything by itself.
- Each alert’s recipientsRecipientAn email address an alert sends to. Each alert has its own recipients, and each recipient gets their own email. Read more → are the addresses saved on the alert. These are the addresses that receive its emails.
When you create an alert, Saved emails lists your saved addresses with a checkbox each. The addresses you used most recently start ticked. The ticked addresses become the alert’s recipients. Add emails opens a field for a new address; Save & select adds it to the list and ticks it for this alert.
To change the recipients of an existing alert, edit the alert and change Notification email. Bulk edit offers Update notification emails for several alerts at once. See Edit and delete alerts.
Every address you put on an alert, when you create or edit it, is added to your saved emails, so it is there to pick next time.
Removing an address from your saved emails does not remove it from alerts that already use it. Edit those alerts to stop sending to it.
The Emails tab
Section titled “The Emails tab”Settings → Emails shows Saved Emails with a badge for how many you have saved.
- Add new emails: type one or more addresses and click Save. Separate several addresses with a comma, a space or a semicolon. The tab confirms with “Saved 2 emails successfully”.
- The list shows each address with “Last used” and its date, newest first.
- The trash button next to an address removes it from your saved emails right away.
With no saved addresses, the tab shows “No saved emails yet”.
