If you Link license allows it, you will see a section called ‘Alert configuration’ in the distribution detail page.
Alerts in Link is a powerful feature that makes it possible to receive notification emails when there has been no traffic on a distribution within one or several timeframes.
The screenshot below shows an example of an alert that sends notifications to the EDI support stakeholder and the receiver partners technical contact and that marks the emails as ‘Urgent’.
In this example, alerts will trigger if there is no activity between 08:00 - 09:30 on Mondays - Thursdays - on Fridays the time interval is 08:00 - 10:00.
Note also that the Alert default email template is overridden by a custom text that only applies for this particular distribution.
A detailed explanation of each field / option follows below.
