Hi @homeboy,

As goodbyepc pointed out, currently you would have to use a middleman integration to send out an email by sending the alert to your own custom webhook and then forwarding to your email. We do have an active email PR from an external contributor that we are having an engineer look over. Hopefully we can get that out soon, thanks!
