Configuring Email Notifications

Megaport sends email notifications about important events to the email addresses of users with access to the Megaport Portal. Email notifications fall into these event categories:

  • Services
  • Ordering
  • Financial
  • Company

For each notification type, you can choose to receive email notifications or opt out, with some exceptions by account type.

Here are the email notification settings by account type:

Account Type Supported By Default Notification Settings Configurable? Notes
Direct Megaport Enabled for all categories.
Partner Partner Enabled for all categories. Notification settings are hidden. Partner accounts cannot disable managed account notifications.
Partner Megaport Enabled for all categories for both partner and managed accounts. Partner accounts can receive partner-only notifications or partner and managed account notifications. Partner notifications are sent to Megaport.
Managed Megaport Disabled for all categories.
  • Managed account users are given access to Services and Ordering notifications for their own managed account and services.
  • Partner, Financial, and Company notifications do not appear.
  • Port and service re-terming notifications that a managed user is not subscribed to are sent to the partner.

Note

Maintenance event notifications are sent directly to managed accounts supported by Megaport. For partner-supported managed accounts, your partner will communicate with you regarding any maintenance events that affect your account. Security and people emails are sent directly to anyone impacted.
