Ingesting Emails as alerts

Temperstack's can also ingest emails as a source of alerts and relay it through its notification systems.

This is specifically built to ingest alerts that are created and sent to a specific email address, either as a part of custom alert mechanism coded in your application.

In this integration, each such alert source has a unique email address (which Temperstack generates) where the alert email needs to be directed for the alert to be ingested and relayed to relevant team through the notification system.

This method can also be used to send Alerts generated by other observability tools for which Temperstack does not currently support deep integration or alert listeners .
