You can use email alerts to automatically notify application users by email when changes in the database affect them. To enable email alerts, you must enter information about your profile of Database Mail set up in SQL Server. If Blackbaud does not host your organization’s database, you must also enter information about the database to use email alerts.
Note: When you enable email alerts for your organization, the Email preferences tab appears on application user records. From this tab, users can select whether to receive specific types of email alerts and enter the email address at which to receive the alerts. For information about the Email preferences tab, see Configure Email Preferences for Users.
