Summary

JEMHC can notify Slack Channels when messages are received and sent, this provides a view of current activity - and a sense of well-being that all mail services are working!IM notifications allow you to configure notifications to be sent to a Slack channel when it enters an issue with processing an email. e.g. email being filtered due to an exclusion.

Info

JEMHC has two categories of notifications, Global and Project. Global notifications relate to JEMHC activities (mail forwarded etc), Project notifications relate to inbound email processing and outbound email notifications.

Integrating IM notifications will provide valuable feedback as to when messages come in (validating JEMHC is successfully retrieving mail from your mailbox), when email notifications are sent out, when some expected alternative behaviours is performed like an email blacklisting and when there is actually an error performing operations.
