Create Alert
Click Add New on the Alerts page to open the Create Alert page. Creating an alert requires completing the Activity step, any additional conditions the activity requires, an optional Frequency step, and the Email step, before selecting Create & Activate.
Activity
Select the activity you would like to monitor. Activities are grouped by category:
| Category | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status | DMARC Compliance Score Changed | Notify me when the DMARC Compliance Score has changed. |
| Status | Verification Status Changed | Notify me when DNS delegation verification passes. |
| Status | Setup Re-Verification Failed | Notify me when DNS delegation re-verification fails. |
| Configuration | Changes to Settings | Notify me when settings are changed. |
| Mail Senders | Compliance Dropped | Notify me when compliance drops below a threshold. |
| Mail Senders | Approved Sender Found | Notify me when a new, commonly approved sender is detected. |
| Reports | Exposure Report | Schedule when you would like to receive the Exposure Report. |
Additional conditions
Some activities ask you to configure further detail before you can continue:
- Verification Status Changed, Setup Re-Verification Failed, and Changes to Settings ask you to select which record types to monitor: DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, TLS-RPT, and MTA-STS.
- Compliance Dropped asks you to set the Compliance Threshold — the compliance percentage below which the notification is triggered, using a slider.
Note: The minimum recommended Compliance Threshold is 50%.
Frequency
Note: The Frequency step only appears for the Exposure Report activity. Other activities are event-based and send a notification immediately when the event occurs, so this step is skipped automatically.
Set the Start Date for the first notification, then choose the Frequency:
| Frequency |
|---|
| Every month |
| Every two months |
| Every three months |
| Every six months |
| Every year |
Email
Add the email addresses that should receive the notification. Enter an address in the Recipients field and click Add to include it. You can add multiple recipients, and each one can be marked as subscribed or unsubscribed independently.
Click Create & Activate to save the alert. It appears in the Alerts list with a status of On.
