Configuring email subscriptions
Follow this procedure to configure the Marketing Platform to send system alert and notification emails to users. You must have an email server set up before you start.
Obtain the following information about your mail server.
*
The protocol used by your mail server.
*
The port on which the mail server listens.
*
The name of the machine that hosts your mail server.
*
Whether your mail server requires authentication.
*
If your mail server requires authentication, an account name and password on the mail server.
1.
If your mail server requires authentication, save a mail server account name and password as a data source in a Marketing Platform user account.
Use an internal Marketing Platform user account, not a user imported from an LDAP server.
See Adding a user data source for instructions.
Make a note of the Marketing Platform user name and the data source name, as you will use them in step 3.
2.
Log in to IBM® EMM as a user with administrative privileges in the Marketing Platform.
