# Email Forwarding

This feature lets workspace admins configure external email addresses to receive automated alert notifications when new vulnerabilities are detected.

Use it for shared inboxes like `security@company.com`, forward to robot emails, escalation aliases, or teams that do not use chat alerts.

#### Set up Email Forwarding

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the integration**

Go to **Settings** → **Integrations** → Email Forwarding
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Configure forwarding**

Enter the email address that should receive alerts.

Choose a minimum severity (`Critical, High, etc` )

The address will receive alerts for that severity and anything higher.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save additional addresses if needed**

Repeat the same setup for every inbox that should receive alerts.

Each forwarding address can have its own minimum severity.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Send a test email**

Click **Send Test Email** to confirm the integration works.

Use this after setup to verify delivery to the target inbox.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/getting-started/chat-and-alerts/email-forwarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
