Send e-mail alerts to your boards

Stay on top of all notifications by visualizing them on the board!
You can integrate email alerts from any software you’re using.

Please follow this sample MOZ alerts guide

Our Marketing board template is designed for the alerts to be stored in the very first column.

• First, obtain your board’s email address from Tools - Add tasks from email, just copy the custom email address to the clipboard. To start getting alerts on the board, you will have to set up filters in your email account.

• Go to Settings - Forwarding and POP/IMAP and click the Add a forwarding address button.
  Then paste in the board’s email address that you’ve copied a moment ago.
  Once you’ve confirmed the address, a new Kanban card will be created on your board with instructions to activate your new forwarding address. Follow the instructions inside the card to verify your email address.
  Once complete, you will get the following message:
  You have verified the forwarding address.

• Please locate the MOZ alerts in your inbox,
  then select one of the emails and click More on the toolbar, then Create filter.
  Or, open any email from MOZ, which you want to forward to your Kanban Tool board. Then click More on the toolbar and Create filter.

• Now you will have to specify the alerts you want to receive.
  All alert emails will be received from the same email address so we leave it as it is.
  The To field can be used if more than one sub-domain is used within one email account. Leave it blank or type in a specific email address for your case.
  The Subject field will allow you to set the filters for specific alerts or by leaving it empty you will receive all MOZ alerts.

• Once you have filled out the information, proceed to Create filter with this search.
  In this section, you need to specify your filter options to forward the alerts to your project boards. Since the alerts will be visible in Kanban Tool, you can check the Skip the inbox (Archive it) box to avoid unnecessary traffic in your inbox.
  Also, please check the Never send it to Spam box. Most importantly, do check the Forward it to box and select your board email address that the alerts will be forwarded to.

• Congratulations, now you will receive all alerts directly on your project board.
  We advise on setting up your board according to our template where the first column is an Alert lane, in which all the alerts will land.
