Email notifications through the IoT Dashboard app

[humese]

I want to send an email when an alert is fired. When I set up a contact point and a notification policy to test it, I recieve the message shown in the attached image. Could this message be explained, as well as a way to solve it?

Hello, 

Actually it is not possible to editi the grafana.ini I think. When it will be possible i am going to create a guide for that. 

Anyway my customers are more keen to implement this feature with Node-Red. It is more flexible and easy to implement.

Short update: 

From version 1.20 is possible to modify grafana.ini file from app data:

You have to modify and reboot the device. the settings you want to include should be seen in Grafana manual.

In order to send email notifications, you will need to configure them in the grafana.ini file. Here is an example for an Outlook account. Each provider has it's own SMTP host and configuration. The password is omitted below, but will be required for Outlook.
