Send Email
You can configure emails to be sent when an event occurs and can customize the message.
Messages consist of a combination of free text and Legrand PDU placeholders. The placeholders represent
information which is pulled from the Legrand PDU and inserted into the message.
For example:
[USERNAME] logged into the device on [TIMESTAMP]
translates to
Mary logged into the device on 2012-January-30 21:00
For a list and definition of available variables, see Placeholders for Custom Messages (on page 210).

non-placeholder words, always add a backslash in front of the square bracket. That is, \[ or \]. Otherwise,
the message sent will not display the square brackets.
