Alerts Wizard

Manage scheduled tenant alerts.

CIPP offers a set of scheduled, recurring alert checks. Some of these duplicate Microsoft Alerts functionality in a more MSP-friendly manner, some are not available as a Microsoft Alert at this time.

Within CIPP, there are two types of alerts.

  • Scripted CIPP Alert

  • Audit Log Alert

Similar to Tenant Standards, you configure alerts using the wizard to select one or more tenants or -All Tenants- to apply alerts globally, then select from the list of available alerts.

Alert email delivers to the email address or webhook provided in CIPP settings. Alerts are delivered as an HTML-formatted table. Alerts fire once per incident - for example, a full mailbox does not fire an alert every time it's checked.

Scripted CIPP Alerts runtimes are configurable from 30 minutes to up to 1 week.

Audit Log Alerts are processed in near real-time.
