Receive email notifications for Application Workspace Setup Store managed package updates

In this article, we describe how to create scheduled tasks to receive e-mail notifications when updates are available for the managed application you’ve created through the Application Workspace Setup Store.

Configure the e-mail settings

To receive email notifications from within Application Workspace, you first have to add an email server in Manage > Mail Settings:

Click AW43_enlarge Create in the table toolbar and configure all the necessary settings for this email server.
This email server is used by the scheduled tasks to send email messages. For more information, see Mail Settings.

Test the e-mail server

Don’t forget to use the Test option in the Overview screen, to see if the configuration is working correctly.
