Email notifications | PS Cloud
What are email notifications?
Email notifications are used to alert users on particular Password Safe actions, such as connection profile alerts, release requests, and password check failures.

Customize mail templates
The subject line and message body for a template can be customized in Password Safe configuration.

.
The Configuration page displays. - Under Privileged Access Management, select Mail Templates.
The Mail Templates page displays. - Select a template from the Mail Templates list.
- In the template pane, enter subject line text.
- In the Message Body field, add the text for the email:
- Copy a tag from the Body Tags section to a location in the message body.
- When working within cumulative alert emails, ensure you add any additional body tags within the elements.
- To include hyperlinks that link directly to the approval and denial pages for a file or password request, use the :approvallink: and :denylink: message body tags.
- Click Update Template.
Only one <ROW>/<ROW>/ tag can be added to the mail template. If you wish to add more tags, they must be added to the row already present within the template. For example:
<ROW>:AlertTimeUTC: | :AlertTimeClient: | :ComputerName: | :AccountName: | :AccountDomain: | :DNSName: | :IPAddress: | :EventCode: | :EventReferenceId: | :SubjectSID:</ROW>
