EMAIL

If users wish to receive emails about the ZPE Cloud notifications, you can configure their emails on this page. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the procedure Configure Email Notifications for User.

ZPE Cloud mainly supports two types of notifications:

  • Alert Notifications: ZPE Cloud provides notifications of the events on enrolled devices. The emails are triggered when a device takes a specific action. For more information on alert notifications, see the Notifications section.

  • System Notifications: These include general announcements or interactions from the Operations team, such as system maintenance updates or customer support interactions.

    NOTE

    System notifications may also be sent within ZPE for certain internal actions, such as when a customer requests a new account creation. However, the information on these notifications are beyond the scope of this document. For more information, contact ZPE support.
