The SMTP server setting can be configured to enable email alerts where users will be able to receive notifications whenever a specific event takes place. Steps to configure the SMTP Server:
Provide the proper SMTP server name.
Provide the appropriate port number as the communication of SMTP takes place using this port number.
Provide the email ID through which the notification mail will be sent in the ‘From’ field.
If the SMTP uses secure socket options, then select the appropriate one from the drop-down list; otherwise, set it to None in the SMTP secure socket options field.
Provide the email through which the mail will be sent in the SMTP SenderEmailID field. Also, provide the corresponding password for the above sender email address in SMTP Sender Password.
There is also an option to test the server details by clicking on the ‘Test’ button and the user will receive a test email if SMTP server details are correct.
Once the settings are saved successfully, a user starts receiving email alerts whenever an event occurs.
