Product Introducing Notification Center By Desmond Liao | 3 minute read Notification Center pulls together all the intelligence about your email infrastructure and makes it available in one place. It tells you important information, such as who sends the most email by volume, who are the biggest spammers, and who is having deliverability issues on your network. Access the feature You will find the Notification Center under the Activity section of the MailChannels console. (The Top Senders reports are now located under the Activity section.) Use the top menu to access all the Notification Center information. If you click on “Notifications” from within the Notification Center, you can access the same information from the sidebar menu. Monitors The Monitors section lets you configure settings to be alerted about specific events. Alerts can be received by email or by webhook, and you can throttle the frequency to limit how often you receive the same alert.
