Hi there, Is there any way to set up an email notification to be sent when a user starts an Perspective session? I was thinking of using the audit logs “login” action column as a starting place but any other ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Mike. ---

You could use [system.net.sendEmail()](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.net.sendEmail), assuming you have an SMTP server configured. You just need to insert that call into the Script portion of a Session Startup Event (`Project > Session Events > Startup`). ---
