Enabling Email Notifications

Data Platform

Enabling email notifications configures the Administrator Console to send messages to a specified email address to alert administrators of the status of Data Platform activities and events. These events might be the success or failure of a catalog synchronization, for example.

When enabled, the Administrator Console can send email notifications for Technopedia Catalog Synchronization and Normalize events. For each event, the notification messages report the start, success, cancellation, or failure of the activity.
