Policy email frequency in Flexera One Automation
When using Flexera policies for reporting or cloud optimization, knowing how and when email alerts are triggered ensures timely action. Different policies send emails at varying times, depending on the data they process.
For all policies, email notifications are only sent when they run. The schedule and execution time determine the frequency of these emails.
- Reporting policies send an email every time they run. Due to the processing time involved, many cannot run at the highest frequency.
- Optimization policy emails are sent only when incidents are updated. While optimization policies may run multiple times, an email is sent only when a new recommendation or alert is generated.
TIP: Use the applied policy page to confirm that these policies are running correctly. Alternatively, an alerting policy can be set up to monitor policy status.
