Note:

Configuring a mail server is only available in self-hosted environments. You can refer to our official documentation to set up Mail server.

Cloud environments use a predefined mail server and do not have this option. Hence, this setting will not be available in the Web UI.

Currently, customizing the format of the email content and subject line is not supported.

Common Issues and Resolutions:

Address any encountered problems with the following steps:

Under Administration → User Management, ensure the user who created the token has a valid email address associated.
For service account users wishing to receive emails, ensure a valid user email address is attached.

By following these steps diligently, you can confirm the functionality of email notifications for token expiration and promptly address any potential issues.
