When to Send

Instructions

Default Setting: Send Email Immediately

By default, alerts send emails right away as soon as the trigger condition is met.

Scheduled Sending Options

You can configure alerts to send emails on a schedule instead of immediately:

• Business Days
  Emails are sent only on selected business days within a specified time window.
  If the alert triggers outside the scheduled window or on non-business days, the email is queued and sent later during the next allowed time slot.
• Daily
  Similar to Business Days but without restricting to specific time windows. Emails triggered at any time during the day are sent once daily.
• Weekly
  Emails triggered throughout the week are queued and sent together once per week at a selected time.
• Monthly
  Emails are sent once per month at a specified date and time.
  Ideal for monthly summaries or reports.
• Quarterly
  Emails are sent once every three months at a specified date and time.
  Useful for quarterly reviews or notifications.

Analogy:
Think of these scheduled options like having your mail carrier hold your mail while you're on vacation — you get all your mail at once when you return, instead of receiving it piece by piece every day.

Email Consolidation Modes

• Separate Email (default)
  Each alert triggers its own email. This is usually the best option for clarity and immediate attention.
• Single Message or Summary Email
  Consolidate multiple alerts into a single email message. This is especially useful when users receive a high volume of alerts and prefer to avoid inbox clutter.
