Ever want to customize some of the emails you receive from Tableau Server? Learn how we provide the ability to intercept, modify and re-route emails when our users are out of office, have other contacts automatically CC’ed on important messages, or give our project leaders the ability to receive critical messages (e.g. datasource refresh failures) for all content in their projects.
