Keepit messages help you stay informed on a variety of events. In particular, they help you monitor your connectors as well as your backup and restore jobs.
By default, Keepit sends messages to the in-app inbox of the primary Master Admin user and to this Master Admin's email.
Other users do not receive messages, unless this option is manually enabled for them.
Messages concerning a user's account sign-in (e.g., an activation email or the password reset email) are always sent, even if messages are disabled for the user. Only the user to whom they are directed will have access to them.
Finding messages in the Keepit platform
In-app messages can be found on the Messages page by clicking Messages in the left navigation menu.
Enabling messages for users
A Master Admin can enable messages being sent to other users to allow them to see connector, backup, and restore updates.
Messages can be enabled when a user is first being created by turning on the Send messages toggle.
To enable messages for users that have already been created, go to your account profile > Account info. In the Users tab, point to the user and click the gear icon. Turn on the Send messages toggle.
