Alerts

    The Hudu admin area is accessible ONLY to admins and super admin users within your organization.

 
Alerts can be configured within Hudu to help keep your team aware and informed of upcoming events! Alerts can be configured for:
 
  • Single expirations: Generates a separate, individual alert for each expiration of a certain type, expiring within a set number of trigger days.
  • Expiration list: Generates a single alert with a list view of all expirations expiring within a set number of trigger days.
  • Website down: Generates an alert when a website of your choice appears down.

  • Password created/updated: Generates an alert when a password has been created and/or updated.
  • Record Created/Updated/Deleted: Generates an alert when a company, password, article, website or asset record has been created, updated, or deleted.

    In order to start setting up alerts within Hudu, you'll first need to have at least a single expiration within a client interface. Visit Expirations for additional information.
