# Raley Emails Notifications FAQ for Jira Cloud admins

> Answers to common questions about Raley Emails Notifications for Jira Cloud: permissions, licensing, recipient handling, attachments, SMTP, and deliverability.

## Data and Privacy

**Do Raley Emails Notifications store private data as defined by Atlassian?**

No. The app does not store private user data. See the [Data Security and Privacy Statement](/policies/data-security-and-privacy) for full details.

**Where are your servers hosted?**

Servers are located in New York City, US (DigitalOcean and Amazon AWS).

***

## Access and Permissions

**Who can configure Raley Emails Notifications?**

By default, only users with **ADMINISTER** or **JIRA\_ADMIN** permissions can configure notification rules and app settings. You can grant additional Jira user groups access through the app's **Settings** menu.

The **Raley issue panel** (for instant/canned notifications) is available to any Jira user who has access to the issue — no admin role required.

**Does Raley replace standard Jira or JSM notifications?**

No. Raley Emails Notifications is a completely separate system from Jira's built-in notification schemes and JSM customer notifications. Running Raley alongside standard Jira/JSM notifications does not cause conflicts. Raley does not modify your existing Jira Notification Schemes.

***

## Email Sending

**Which IP addresses do Raley's shared mail servers use?**

If you need to whitelist Raley's shared sending servers in your email system, add these IPs:

* `45.55.218.70`
* `161.35.132.150`
* `138.197.14.52`
* `64.225.21.7`

**Can I use my own mail server?**

Yes. You can connect any SMTP-compatible server. For Gmail or Office 365, switch to **OAuth2 authentication**. For other providers, use the legacy password method and test the connection using the **Send test message** button in server settings.

***

## Templates

**Do you provide example templates to start from?**

Yes. The app includes predefined customer email notification templates and a **Template Wizard** that guides you through building a template step by step. See [Templating](/apps/emails-notifications/templating).

**How do I format date/time fields in a template?**

Use the `$jirassimo.formatDate()` helper with your preferred format pattern. Example:

```
$jirassimo.formatDate($issue.fields.created, "dd MMM yy hh:mm")
```

**How do I send to different Slack channels based on a user's email?**

Create email-to-Slack channel bindings in **Settings** as key=value pairs (one per line). Then resolve them in your template:

```
$jirassimo.settingValue($issue.fields.customfield_10000)
```

***

## Scheduling

**Can I run digest notifications more than once per hour?**

No. The scheduler checks hourly which digest notifications are eligible to run. Sub-hourly intervals are not supported.

**How do I use custom CRON expressions for scheduled notifications?**

Enter a standard CRON expression (5-part format) in the schedule field. The system evaluates it hourly to determine whether the notification should fire.

***

## Troubleshooting

**How do I know if a notification failed?**

Check the **Send Audit** tab in the app. Failed deliveries show a Status of **Error** with a description of the cause (e.g., SMTP connection failure, template evaluation error, insufficient Jira permissions).

You can also enable admin monitoring alerts — see [Monitoring](/apps/emails-notifications/monitoring).

For step-by-step diagnosis, see [Troubleshooting](/apps/emails-notifications/troubleshooting).
