Notification Inbox Overview

The notification Inbox, or simply inbox, is a centralized interface for managing notifications such as event subscription alerts, access requests and approvals, and other configuration alerts. Here are the key features and functions:

Notifications: The Inbox displays various notifications, including event subscription alerts, access requests, and system alerts. You can configure notifications to be forwarded via email or Slack based on customizable criteria.
Access: You can access the Inbox by clicking the Inbox button on the main menu.
Customization: The format of email messages can be customized. Notifications can be configured to disappear from the notification center after being viewed, while system alerts and access requests remain active until resolved.
Inbox Templates: Templates are used to format notifications. These templates can be customized and include variables that are replaced by Secret Server when sending messages. Templates can be used for both email and Slack notifications.
Inbox Rules: Rules can be set up to trigger notifications and send them to specified users or groups via email or Slack. Rules can be created from scratch or based on existing notifications.
Marking Alerts as Viewed: Alerts can be marked as read, which removes them from the main view but allows them to be seen again if needed.

The Inbox was also called the Alert Notification Center in earlier Secret Server versions.

Event subscriptions disappear from the notification center after you view them. System alerts and access requests stay active until resolved.
