Purpose
If you are running Office 365 or Exchange server on-site, you may want to send a notification to an external recipient informing them that they have received an e-mail in their internal mailbox.
Why would you want to? There could be a corporate policy that prevents forwarding of e-mails and you want to alert off-site staff that they need to check their work mailboxes.
EmailInformer cloud service provides this functionality.
The product is a cloud service based on Microsoft Power Automate (former Microsoft Flow).
Current version: 1.0.0.2
