You can configure Optimize to notify interested parties by e-mail when rules are violated. Any defined user can be specified as the alert recipient when an alert is added to a rule in the Add/Edit/Copy Rule page (for more information, see webMethods Optimize User’s Guide).

The My webMethods Define Environments page Mail Settings panel enables you to specify a custom alert e-mail template, in addition to configuring basic e-mail options as mail server settings and sender information. Unless you specify a custom template, Optimize uses a default template to format e-mail alerts.

For your custom template, you can create either a dynamic template that uses dynamic variable resolution to support more advanced formatting (preferred), or a static template that uses a fixed set of substitution variables (supported for compatibility with previous installations of Optimize).
