Activating the Focused Inbox for an Organization

In some cases, it may not be feasible to have individual users make the changes outlined above. In this scenario, your organization's IT department can activate the Focused Inbox with the article: Configure Focused Inbox for Everyone in Your Organization.

With the Focused Inbox active, rules can then be created utilizing Everbridge mail domains as conditions. This will automatically deliver all Everbridge notifications to the Focused Inbox.

Everbridge mail domains:

  • *.everbridge.eu
  • *.everbridge.com
  • *.everbridge.net
