How to Send E-Mail

The Send E-Mail action, available through Event Actions... on the Configuration menu, enables PowerChute plus to send an e-mail message to selected users when an event occurs.

Use the following steps to configure e-mail notification:

  1. In the "Event Actions" dialog box, select the event from the Events list.

  2. Mark the check-box for the Send E-Mail action.

  3. Click Options... for the Send E-Mail action to open the "Send E-Mail" dialog box.

  4. Configure which users will receive e-mail when the event occurs:

  5. To add to the standard event message text, edit the Additional Mail Text field.

  6. Use the Wait field to define how long PowerChute plus waits before sending e-mail.

    Note:
    PowerChute plus sends e-mail only when the event lasts for the defined Wait period. For example, for a setting of 10, administrators do not receive e-mail if the event lasts less than 10 seconds.

  7. Click OK to save your changes and exit the dialog box.
