# Notification Rules

## General

Storware Backup & Recovery allows a Notification Rules feature to create a semi-custom rule that will send notifications triggered by an event specified in a rule.\
Go to Settings on the left menu and then click on the Notification Rules button.

Fill in a name for your rule, set your notification to active and add one or more conditions from a list.

For some conditions, you will need to provide more information, for example, choose TaskType.

The last step is to add an action with related recipients.\
Click **Add Action** button, choose **Action Type** from a list, add one or more recipients passing their email addresses.

After an event that will trigger a notification, all recipients who have been added to the notification rule will receive an email notification.
