Keepit Platform

Keepit messages

Keepit messages help you staу informed about various events, helping you monitor your connectors as well as your backup and restore jobs.

Default messages

  • By default, Keepit sends messages to the in-app inbox of the primary Master Admin user and to their email.
  • Other users do not receive messages unless this option is manually enabled for them.

Important message exceptions

  • Account-related messages: Messages concerning a user's sign-in (e.g., activation emails or password reset emails) are always sent to the relevant user, regardless of message settings. Only the intended recipient will have access to these messages.
  • Link generation messages: A user who generates a PST download or a compliance report will receive a message with the download link, regardless of their message settings. 

Finding messages in the Keepit platform

In-app messages can be found on the Messages page by clicking Messages in the left navigation menu.
