Configuring Email Notifications

This topic describes how to review and configure Megaport email notifications.

Megaport sends email notifications about important events to the email addresses of partners with access to the Megaport Portal. Email notifications fall into these event categories:

Services
Ordering
Financial
Company

For each notification type, you can choose to receive email notifications or opt out, with some exceptions by account type.

Here are the email notification settings by account type:

Account Type	Supported By	Default Notification Settings	Configurable?	Notes
Direct	Megaport	Enabled for all categories.	✓
Partner	Partner	Enabled for all categories.	✓	Partner accounts cannot disable managed account notifications.
Partner	Megaport	Enabled for all categories for both partner and managed accounts.	✓	Partner accounts can receive partner-only notifications or partner and managed account notifications. Partner notifications are sent to Megaport.
Managed	Megaport	Disabled for all categories.	✓	Managed account users are given access to Services and Ordering notifications for their own managed account and services. Partner, Financial, and Company notifications do not appear. Port and service re-terming notifications that a managed user is not subscribed to are sent to the partner.
Managed	Partner	Disabled for all categories. Notification settings are hidden.	X

Note

Megaport sends maintenance event notifications directly to managed accounts supported by Megaport. For partner-supported managed accounts, your partner will communicate with you regarding any maintenance events that affect your account. Megaport sends security and people notifications directly to anyone impacted.

Megaport sends Service email notifications once per hour.
