Notifications

bluefactory sends two kinds of email so the right people know how your data protection is doing — without flooding anyone's inbox.

Per-run result emails​

Each backup or archive can email its result when a run finishes. You configure this on the backup or archive itself (when creating or editing it):

  • Notify when a run finishes — send the result email every run.
  • Failures only — stay quiet unless something went wrong.
  • Recipient — the address to notify.

The email includes the run's date, object/record/file counts, its status, and a link to the full run report.

Summary digests​

Settings → Notifications manages scheduled summary emails that roll up a period's activity — backup runs, archive runs, and metadata changes — into one email per recipient, per org.

  1. Pick the Salesforce org.
  2. Enter the recipient's email.
  3. Choose the frequency: Daily summary or Weekly summary.
  4. Tick which modules to include: Backups, Archives, Metadata changes.
  5. Click Add recipient.

[SCREENSHOT REQUIRED: Notifications page with the subscribe form and existing subscriptions]

Each subscription can be edited in place: change the frequency (Daily, Weekly, or Never to pause it), toggle it Active, adjust the included modules, or delete it. If a period has no activity, no email is sent.

The digest's subject line flags trouble — e.g. "Weekly summary for Production — 2 need attention" — so a healthy week is glanceable and a bad one stands out.

Who receives what — a sensible setup​

  • The admin who owns backups: per-run emails with Failures only on every production backup.
  • The wider team / management: a Weekly summary per production org.
  • Auditors or compliance: a digest including Metadata changes for the orgs they care about.
