In order to take advantage of the alert feature in SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation that is explained in the
blog, as a pre-requisite, you should configure a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server.
Configuration of Mail Server in Cloud Factory is quite simple and straightforward.
Navigate to the Configuration Tab in Cloud Factory.
Step 1: Enter a
Name for your server configuration and a
Description (optional).
Step 2: Select a
Security Method:
TLS (Transport Layer Security) or
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
Step 3: Fill the
Sender Address input field with the mail address that will be used to send the alerts to the recipients.
Step 4: Fill the
Host Address input field with the hostname or IP address of the mail server that will be used to send the alerts.
Step 5: Fill the
Port input field with the number of the port that will be used for connecting to the SMTP Server.
Note: If you've chosen TLS security method, the recommended value of the port is 587. If you've chosen SSL security method, it's 465.
Step 6: Check the
SMTP Authentication checkbox to enable SMTP authentication. Then enter a User and a Password. This step is optional.
In order to test the configuration, click on the
Send Test Mail button. A dialog box appears as shown below.
