Audit emails help keep your team updated by sending notifications when actions are needed or statuses change. If these emails aren't being received, it’s usually due to issues with email triggers, user email addresses, or system email settings.

This guide shows you how to check and fix each of these areas so that emails are sent correctly.

Email trigger setup

To ensure audit emails are sent, check that the correct roles are assigned in the email trigger settings.

  1. From the left menu, click Admin.

  2. Under Email Configuration, click Email Trigger Configuration.

  3. Locate the email trigger in the list.

  4. Check that the Roles Assigned include the role required.

  5. If the setup is missing the role required, click Edit.

  6. Use the Configure Roles drop-down and select the roles required.

  7. Click Save.

If the email triggers are set up correctly but messages still aren’t sending, check the email configuration settings to make sure emails aren’t being held or redirected.

  1. Click the Admin option from the left menu bar.

  2. Under Email Configuration, click Email Configuration.

  3. The top section of the screen shows the email Hold Status and email addresses that override other settings.

  4. To ensure emails are sent, the settings should be set to:

    • Hold Status: Release
