Adding or Editing E-Mail Notifications to Event Rules

You can configure Event Rules to send an e-mail when a rule is triggered. The e-mail is sent to the address defined on the SMTP Configuration tab of the Server.

To add (or edit) e-mail notifications

1. In the Administrator, connect to the server, then click the Server tab.

2. In the left pane, expand the node of the Site you want to configure, then click Event Rules.

3. Click the Event Rule to which you want to add (or edit) the e-mail notification.

4. In the pane, in the Specify rule actions pane, select the Send notification e-mail check box. The Action is added to the rule.

5. In the Specify rule condition and action parameters pane, click notification e-mail. The Edit Mail Template dialog box appears.

6. In the Subject box, type the text you want to appear in the Subject line of the e-mail, or keep the default text, which contains the event name (GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server Notification: %EVENT.NAME%).

7. In the Body box, the default HTML code appears for the selected event. You can replace the default text with the text that you want to appear in the body of the e-mail, or add context variables (Available Tags) as described in the next step. If you delete all of the HTML tags the message is sent as a plain text message.

8. In the Available Tags box, click any property you want to insert in the e-mail message. The text surrounded by per cent signs (%text%) will be replaced by the Server with specific information about the event, the user, or the connection.

• If you just want the specific text in your e-mail message, click the text surrounded by the percent sign in the right column of the Available Tags box.
• If you want the specific text and the explanatory text before it, click the text in the left column of the Available Tags box.
9. In order for the CC Mail Notification to user check box to be available, your rule must be based on a User Event. If you want to send a copy of the message to the involved user, select the CC Mail Notification to user check box. To base a rule on a User Event, create a new rule and select an option from the User Event list.

10. Click OK to save the e-mail settings, then click Apply to save the Event Rule.
