Description
Requesting email reprovisioning for your instance
Overview
If email settings for an instance have been changed, users with the customer_admin role can request that email be reprovisioned for the selected instance.
The process takes approximately an hour and you will receive a confirmation email when the process is complete. ServiceNow disables email after the provisioning process to stop queued emails from being sent.
| Note: Email reprovisioning should not be requested for an instance that is not experiencing an email configuration outage. |
