Hi everyone!

I'd like to know how I connect Kibana with MailCatcher since the organization I work for does not allow to send emails to our personal mailboxes.

We have a cloud dev environment (AWS) where we have created our dashboards and we are currently working on the alerts (watchers). So our dev team has created for us MailCatcher for all email alerts to go there.

But I'm not sure how to continue. When creating a Watcher, who is the sender and where do I send the email to?

Any help will be highly appreciated!  
Maria

Hi @Maria_Dalavagka

What version are you on? And since you are using watcher what license level are you on?

Here are the docs on watcher email action make sure you look at the right version of the docs.

> **[Watcher email action | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.13\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/actions-email.html)**
