# How-to Enable Email Alerts for a Protection Job

### Introduction

Expedient Service Delivery staff will perform a base configuration of a Protection Job inside the Cloud Data Protection platform. This does not include enabling any email-based alerts for failure. To create an email-based alert for failure, edit a job created by this team or yourself following the below procedure. Note that a ticket is automatically opened with the OSC for investigation upon job failure.

### Procedure

1. [Log in](/v1/docs/how-to-access-cloud-data-protection) to the Cloud Data Protection system.
2. You should be directed to the **Protection Jobs** page upon logging into the cluster.
3. If you are not automatically directed to this page or are on a different page, from the navigation menu to the left of the page, select **Data Protection** → **Protection**
