When you specify one or more email addresses for global notification, SynaMan will send an email to the desired recipient whenever someone downloads or uploads a file. The location of the file does not matter. Therefore, the actual file can be in any:

• Shared folder
• User's home directory
• Public link

Creating global notification

Following steps demonstrate how to create global notifications:

• Login using the admin account
• Click Manage Shared Folders
• Click Global Notifications
• The name window asks two questions:
  1. Recipients - Specify one or more email address separated by a comma where emails are sent
  2. Email subject - Subject of the email message. This field can take the following parameters, which are replaced at runtime:
     
     $EVENT - This is replaced by "Upload" or "Download"
     $USER - This is replaced by user's login ID
     $CLIENT_IP - This is replaced by the client's IP address
     

Following rules apply when you create notifications for a particular shared folder:

• Notifications can only be applied to a shared folder
• Email are sent when files are transferred for the entire folder tree, including deeper folders
• You can specify unlimited email address for notification for one shared folder
