How to set up an email ingestion integration in Everbridge Suite.

Description:

Email Ingestion functionality provides administrators with the capability to set up an integration between Everbridge Suite and a third-party alerting application such as event monitoring tools, digital signage software, CAD systems, etc.). Everbridge Suite ingests an email from a third-party application, parses the email, and launches an incident.

Email Ingestion is a premium Everbridge feature, and not enabled for all Everbridge organizations by default. Please contact an Everbridge Account Manager to enable this feature.

Note: The incoming emails Everbridge will ingest must be formatted in Plain Text. If emails are received as HTML, all HTML tags will be stripped, and a plain text body will be generated.  With this process, all smart characters will be converted into their plain counterparts.
