Alerts
An administrator role is required. For information, see User roles.
This page lists alert notification settings. You decide who gets notified when workflow instances fail.
Which instance failures prompt alerts?
An alert is sent for any failure of a published production workflow on the Nintex Automation Cloud tenancy.
No alerts are sent for failures of development workflows.
What form do alerts take?
Alerts are sent by email to the email address associated with the Nintex Automation Cloud user.
How many emails will each user get from alerts?
A maximum of 12 alerts per hour. This hourly maximum for alerts per user reduces the risk of too many emails in the case of an unhealthy or badly formatted workflow. The hourly maximum, which resets every hour, on the hour, corresponds to the five-minute polling interval used in most cases.
