Creating an Email Alert Action

The Email Alert action will automatically send an e-mail message to the recipients of your choice when the action is triggered. The e-mail message can be configured using a template editor. The template editor allows you to embed values from data message fields directly into the body of the e-mail. In addition, you can create a master list of e-mail recipients from which you can select the set of recipients for each individual e-mail alert action.
