How to set up Gmail alerts for Google workspace users

GAT+ 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 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 devices usage
  • Users – alerts for Users
  • Users logins – alerts for User logins

Open GAT+ then navigate to Alert rules under Configuration.

  • Alert on new email Send as

When the rule is created it can be found in the Alert rules where an admin can quickly see the name of the rule, the type of the rule if it is enabled, what scope, and the recipients.

Under the summary tab, an admin can see exactly the alerts enabled for this rule.

Under the actions tab, the rule can be viewed (eye icon), it can be edited from the pen icon or deleted from the button.
