## Definition

The E-Mail will be sent to the owner of the Workload.

## Requirements to activate E-Mail Notifications

To use the E-mail notifications, two requirements need to be met.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Both requirements need to be set or configured by the Openstack Administrator. Please contact your Openstack Administrator to verify the requirements.
{% endhint %}

### User E-Mail assigned

As the E-Mail will be sent to the owner of the Workload does the Openstack User, who created the workload, require to have an E-Mail address associated.

### Trilio E-Mail Server configured

Backup Administrators can do this in the "Backup Admin" area.
