Email Alert Configuration

CautionHQ sends email alerts to ensure you never miss an important expiration. Here's how to configure them.

Default Alert Schedule

By default, CautionHQ sends alerts at:

  • 30 days - First heads up, time to plan
  • 14 days - Urgent reminder, start the renewal process
  • 7 days - Critical alert, take action now

Customizing Alert Intervals

To customize when you receive alerts:

  1. Go to Workspace Settings
  2. Select the "Alerts" tab
  3. Adjust the reminder intervals
  4. Save your changes

Per-Item Overrides

You can also set custom alert schedules for individual items. This is useful for critical items that need earlier warnings.

Email Preferences

Control how you receive alerts:

  • Instant emails for each alert
  • Daily digest summarizing upcoming expirations
  • Weekly summary reports
