Setting up a task: Email Setup
- Send Email On Failure If this is selected then an email will be sent if an action is called for.
- Copy Info From You can use this to copy all the email setup info from another task so you dont have to enter it over and over.
- Use alt SMTP server In the preferences dialog you can enter 2 smtp servers. If the first one fails then WB will try to contact the second. However if you are trying to register a failure on your SMTP server then it makes sense to bypass the SMTP server that you know is down first.
- Only send email on status change Without this checked an email will be sent on every action. If your server is down for a length of time then you could get many emails, or pages. If you check this then only one email will be sent when it goes down, and a second email or page will be sent when it comes back online.
- Use shift info for address If you have configured shifts to notify the appropriate people on duty when a server goes down you can select the appropriate shifts that apply to this server in the "Setup Shifts" dialog. You can select multiple shifts as well. An email will ALWAYS be sent to anyone you put in the ADDRESS field, but will only be sent to the shift addresses if the shift is on duty at the time of the failure.
- To: a comma delimited list of email addresses. Email is always sent to the addresses in this field in addition to any active shifts you have selected. If you only want to send info to shifts you can leave this field blank.
- Subject: the subject line of the email. You can use the same "meta" tags here as in the body field.
- Body: the body of the email. See the window for a quick list of supported meta tags.
