Notifications via email

[alwynispat]

Are we supposed to receive email notifications about the Cloudron notifications? If not, how do we set that up?

@alwynispat
Only certain events send E-Mail e.g. failed backups.
Do you really wish to get every Cloudron notification as E-Mail ?
Every app update etc?

@BrutalBirdie actually I didn’t get emails on backup failure, app update or reboot required. How do I enable those?

But since you ask how would one set this up? There is no click to configure option afaik. @staff might know more
I guess you could have an event log scraper which then send mails on the interested subjects?

That's odd. Maybe the mails got filtered as spam?
Here is an example from my G-Mail Inbox (note: old mail since I no longer use g-mail for my private server):

You get only backup failure. That too, only if it failed for 3 days straight.

@girish ok that clarifies it then.
