Hello and welcome, You need to create the connector going to Stack Management \> Connectors \> Create Connector. The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/email-action-type.html) has an example on how to do it. After you create the connector you can add as an action in your rules. Keep in mind that to be able to use the email connector you need a paid license, it does not work with the basic license. ---
