Notifications

View and amend notifications for your CIPP App

Configure notifications from CIPP.

CIPP provides alert notifications for Tenants and CIPP actions, sent as one combined table in an email or webhook body.

• Alert Configuration creates notifications regarding changes within a tenant. See that help page for more information on managing those alerts.

• CIPP Alerts relate to changes initiated via the CIPP platform.

Available CIPP Alerts

Under the "Choose which logs you would like to receive alerts from" you will be able to select what you would like to receive alerts from CIPP actions. A sample of the alerts is listed below:

• New Accounts created via CIPP

• Removed Accounts via CIPP

• New Applications added via CIPP

• New Policies added via CIPP

• New Standards added via CIPP

• Removed Standards via CIPP

• Token Refresh Events

Sending Methods

E-mail

Enter as many email addresses as you need, separated by a comma.

Email will be sent from the service account used for the Setup Wizard.

The service account must have a mailbox available. This can be accomplished by either assigning a license with Exchange to the service account permanently or temporarily and converting the service account's mailbox to a shared mailbox. If you do not have a mailbox available on the account, the log will state we could not send out the notifications.

If you have already completed the Setup Wizard prior to converting the service account to a shared mailbox you will want to rerun the Setup Wizard using the option "Refresh Tokens for existing application registration".

Sent Items Notification emails do not save to the CIPP account's Sent Items folder.

Webhook

Enter a webhook URL. Data is formatted based on the receiving server:

Service	Format
slack.com	A separate markdown-formatted message for each alert.
discord.com	A basic HTML formatted table.
All other services	JSON array of data values. Method is POST

Office 365 connector webhooks in Teams are deprecated as of March 31, 2026.

Webhook Authentication

You are optionally able to set authentication on webhooks sent to your automation platform.

Authentication Methods

Method	Description
None	No auth, POST is unauthenticated
Bearer Token	Adds Authorization: Bearer <token> header
Basic Auth	Standard HTTP basic auth
API Key Header	Custom header name + value (e.g. x-api-key: abc123)
Custom Headers (JSON)	Used if the other methods are too restrictive for your needs.

Setting	Description
Webhook Bearer Token	The token value only — CIPP prepends Authorization: Bearer automatically. Masked input.
Webhook Basic Username	Plain text username for HTTP basic auth.
Webhook Basic Password	Password for HTTP basic auth. Masked input.
Webhook API Key Header Name	The header name to use, e.g. x-api-key. Free text — whatever your endpoint expects.
Webhook API Key Header Value	The value for that header. Masked input.
Webhook Custom Headers (JSON)	A full JSON object of key/value header pairs. Must be valid JSON. Example: {"Authorization":"Bearer token","x-api-key":"value"}. Masked input — stored as a secret.

Log and Severity Settings

Log Alerts

Selecting one or more of these log alert types will send an alert to your configured methods if that event occurs in the Logbook.

Alert Severity

Selecting these severities will send any Logbook entry that matches the severity level to your configured methods. See the Logbook Severity chart on the Logbook docs page on the different severities and what they cover.

"Alert" is selected by default. Without this selected any alerts you set up via Alert Configuration will not be sent.

Notification Setting Options

Setting	Description
Receive one email per tenant	Toggling on this option will separate emailed alerts by tenant as opposed to sending all matching log entries as a single alert.
Send notifications to configured integration(s)	This will enable notifications to be sent to the integration(s) you have configured.
Use Standardized Alert Schema	Opts the webhook payload into the versioned schemaVersion: 1.0 envelope. Off by default — existing integrations are unaffected unless this is explicitly enabled.

Previously saved credential values are retained in the form even when the auth type is switched. Users should be aware their old values may persist until explicitly cleared.

Standardized Alert Schema

{
    "schemaVersion": "1.0",
    "source": "CIPP",
    "invoking": "Get-CIPPAuditLogContent",
    "title": "Risky Sign-Ins Detected",
    "tenant": "contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
    "generatedAt": "2026-03-31T16:00:00.0000000Z",
    "alertCount": 3,
    "payload": [
            { "API": "Get-CIPPAuditLogContent", "UserId": "[e-mail]" },
            { "API": "Get-CIPPAuditLogContent", "UserId": "[e-mail]" },
            { "API": "Get-CIPPAuditLogContent", "UserId": "[e-mail]" }
        ]
}

Those who are utilizing the Rewst crate to handle CIPP notifications should not enable the Standardized Alert Schema as it has not been updated to handle this new format.
