Configure this item

• Email address to notify - enter the email address(es) to which the message should be sent. If more than one is to be used, they should be separated by a comma (no space).
• Notify level - select from None, Error and All. This specifies when a notification is sent to the email address(es) entered above. None means that no notification will be sent, Error means that a notification will only be sent in the event of an error, and All means that a notification will be sent every time this app is triggered.
• Force this debug level, otherwise use highest current level setting - when checked, this forces the debug level specified in Notify level above. Left unchecked (default) it uses the highest current level setting.
• Alert on every retry, or alert only once on the first failure - when checked, this configures the app to send an email every time it retries the debug. Left unchecked (default) it only sends an email on the first failure.
• Macros that you wish to report on - click the macro selector icon to insert macros from the macro selector. As many macros as are desired can be entered, but they must be predefined. The debug reads the current values of the specified macros and sends them in the report to the defined email address(es).
