Email Notifications & Scheduled Reports
Send scanner alerts and scheduled report emails from a mailbox you own. Configure per-recipient alert rules that fire after every scan, plus timezone-aware periodic reports on daily, weekly, or monthly schedules.
What You'll Learn
This documentation covers everything you need to set up and run email delivery:
- Set up the email app registration and connect a sending mailbox (one-time admin task)
- Pick between OAuth Sign-In and Exchange RBAC sending modes
- Configure Notification Rules that trigger after every scan, per recipient, with per-type thresholds
- Schedule Reports on daily, weekly, or monthly cadences with custom lookback windows
- Send test emails and read the Last Send column to confirm delivery
Key Capabilities
Customer-Owned Sending Mailbox
All emails send from a single mailbox you own. No third-party email service is involved, and the app registration used for email is separate from the StratoLens authentication app.
Two Sending Modes
OAuth Sign-In for fast setup, or Exchange RBAC for application-level send permission scoped to one mailbox with no token expiration. Modes are mutually exclusive.
Post-Scan Notification Alerts
Each notification rule defines a recipient list and a set of alert types. Rules are evaluated after every scan completes, with per-type thresholds so you only get emails for findings that matter.
Timezone-Aware Scheduled Reports
Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly reports that bundle detailed item-level tables and executive summaries. Each report type can use its own lookback window in a single email.
Per-Recipient Targeting
Configure separate rules for separate audiences. Send executive summaries to leadership and detailed findings to engineering, all from the same tenant configuration.
