Email Notifications
Real-time security alerts and daily/weekly digest emails for login blocks, firewall matches, and admin logins.
Last updated Feb 21, 2026
Overview
ArmorPro can notify you about security events via email, so you stay informed about what is happening on your site without checking the dashboard. Notifications come in two forms: real-time alerts for individual events and scheduled digest summaries.
Configuration
Go to ArmorPro → Settings and find the Notifications section.
Notification email
Enter the email address where notifications should be sent. If left empty, ArmorPro defaults to the WordPress admin email address configured in Settings → General.
Notification frequency
Choose how often to receive digest summaries:
- Off (default) — no scheduled digests
- Daily — sent at 8am site time, summarizes blocked requests, attack patterns, and notable IP addresses from the past 24 hours
- Weekly — sent Monday at 8am site time, includes weekly trends, top attacking IPs, and overall site health status
Event notifications
Each event type can be toggled on or off independently:
| Event | When it triggers |
|---|---|
| IP blocked | An IP triggers a temporary brute force lockout |
| IP blacklisted | An IP is auto-added to the permanent blacklist |
| Admin login | Any user with the administrator role logs in |
| Firewall block | A request triggers a firewall pattern match |
Real-time vs digest
Event toggles trigger immediate emails when the event occurs. These are rate-limited to prevent your inbox from being flooded during a sustained attack.
Digest emails are scheduled summaries that run on WordPress cron. ArmorPro registers two cron events:
armor_send_daily_digest— fires daily at 8am site timearmor_send_weekly_digest— fires every Monday at 8am site time
You can use both systems together. For example, enable real-time alerts for admin logins and IP blacklisting (critical events you want to know about immediately), while using a weekly digest for a broader overview of firewall activity and trends.
Tip
Enable admin login notifications if you are the only administrator. Any unexpected login alert means someone else has your credentials, and you should change your password and review your site immediately.
Important
Enabling all real-time notifications on a high-traffic site can generate a significant volume of email. Start with digest mode to get a sense of your site's activity levels, then selectively enable real-time alerts only for the events that require immediate attention.
