# Emails & Alerts

Managers shouldn't need to constantly live inside the We360.ai portal to stay informed. the **Emails & Alerts** module is designed to proactively push critical data to the people who need it.

<details>

<summary>Automated Email Reports</summary>

* Schedule routine data exports without manual intervention.
* Configure the portal to automatically construct and email Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Attendance and Productivity summaries directly to departmental managers or C-level executives.
* Choose exactly which metrics to include and at what time the email should dispatch.

<summary>Alert Rules</summary>

We360.ai acts as an automated supervisor. Instead of combing through logs, you can define **Alert Rules** that trigger instant notifications when specific, predefined conditions are met.

* **Productivity Triggers**: Generate an alert if an employee's Idle Time exceeds a certain threshold, or if they spend more than X minutes on an "Unproductive" application.
* **Attendance Triggers**: Notify managers instantly if an employee clocks in late, punches out early, or if they skip a mandatory shift.
* **Security Triggers**: Receive immediate warnings if an employee attempts to access a blacklisted URL.
