No. email notification needs a platinum license for on premise. [Subscriptions | Elastic Stack Products & Support | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) see Alerting It needs a Gold level for the cloud service. See [Elastic Cloud Feature Matrix | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions/cloud) ---

The only actions available in the alerts with the Basic license are the log action, which will write a log line in Kibana's log, and the index action, which will write the alert in some index. To get an e-mail you will need to use a third party tool like elastalert or you can also use the index action and create a simple tool to read from the index and send your e-mails. ---

You will need to build something, maybe a python script using the elasticsearch python client to query the index and trigger the e-mail. ---
