# Set Up Gmail Alerts for Google Workspace Users with GAT+

[GAT+](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/gat-overview/) provides an extensive and detailed view of the entire Google domain. There are multiple reports that can be set up and generated based on Files or Emails or any other aspect of the [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/) domain.

In GAT+, we also have Alert rules. There are different types of alerts that can be set up on a domain.

For example:

- Applications - alert for Applications usage
- **Emails - alerts for Email usage**
- Drive - alerts for Drive usage
- YouTube - alerts for YouTube usage
- Mobile devices - alerts for Mobile device usage
- Users - alerts for Users
- Users' logins - alerts for User logins

## **How to configure Gmail alerts for Google Workspace users**

Open GAT+ , then navigate to **Alert rules **under **Configuration.**
