Triggering to a distribution list: Newbee here. I’m trying to figure out how to have a trigger send an email alert to a distribution list. So far I can only send email alerts to accounts created for Control-Up roles.

assuming you are talking about cu4vdi you would need to use smtp to send them

Thanks for the response. I already have the Monitors setup to send alert emails, but I cant figure out how to get it to send to distribution lists, rather than the emails associated with the accounts setup to manage Control-Up.

you need to select the smtp followup action instead of send an email alert https://support.controlup.com/docs/setting-up-triggers?followup-action-types=#followup-action-types
