Configuring Notifications Overview
Depending on your role, you can choose how to support notifications and whether you want to receive
them.
The following high-level overview describes the process for configuring notifications:
1 Configure an outbound email server to send notifications. See Add a Tenant-Specific Outbound Email
Server. If your system administrator configured a default outbound server and you need to configure
your own, see Override a System Default Outbound Email Server.
2 (Optional) Configure an inbound server so that users can complete tasks by responding to
notifications. See Add a Tenant-Specific Inbound Email Server. If your system administrator
configured a default inbound server and you need to configure your own, see Override a System
Default Inbound Email Server.
3 Select the vRealize Automation events to trigger user notifications. See Configure Notifications.
4 (Optional) Each user must subscribe to notifications before they can receive the notifications that you
configured. See Subscribe to Notifications.
