Connecting different emails to different channels

Hi all,

Thanks for looking at my question.

I was wondering how to connect different emails to different channels. I plan to create multiple channels for multiple devices at multiple locations (e.g., stores). I would like ThingSpeak to individually send alert notifications to each location manager. For example, I want to make sure that the email notification of channel A is sent only to the manager's email of the location connected to the channel, but not to me (i.e., the account owner's email).

Thanks again.

This is possible if you have each location manager create their own account. ThingSpeak will only send an email to the owner of the alerts API key used to set up the alert. If you have a paid license, you can add the individual location managers accounts as Licensed End Users (LEU) and their accounts will use the allowances of the license but they will be able to create their own channels and generate their own alerts to their own email addresses.

Another way to achieve this is to use a forwarding rule in your own inbox. You can set a pattern in the alert email, such as a certain number in the subject, and they set your email to forward emails with that number to the correct location manager.

Finally, you can use an external service such as Twilio or pushingbox to send an email to the correct party. You use a MATLAB analysis and the webwrite() or webread() commands to trigger the API for the external service.
