Last Updated February 19, 2025

As a cloud administrator, you configure an email server if you want to send messages to users about events in
Automation Service Broker
and
Automation Assembler
. The messages are a courtesy that improves the experience of your consumers.
  • Verify that you know the credentials required to configure the email server. You must provide the server name and an email account that you want to be the message sender. If your email server requires authentication, you must also provide the user name and password.
This email server is for outbound messages only.
Email messages are sent to users in the following scenarios.
  • A deployment lease expires soon. The message is sent to the deployment owner three days before the lease expires.
