- # Email
-
- As an alternative to HTTP/HTTPS requests, you can "ping" checks by
- sending an emails to special email addresses.
-
- ## Use Case: Email Delivery Monitoring
-
- Consider a cron job which runs weekly and sends weekly email
- reports to a list of e-mail addresses. You have already set up a check to get alerted
- when your cron job fails to run. But what you ultimately want to check is if
- **your emails are getting sent and delivered**.
-
- The solution: set up another check, and add its email address to your list of
- recipient email addresses. Set its Period to 1 week. As long as your weekly email
- script runs correctly, and there are no email delivery issues,
- SITE_NAME will regularly receive an email, and the check and will stay up.
