For the directory template an additional keyword is available. The keyword %directory% returns the last part of a checked directory. The keyword can only be used in recipients edit field. It was added, so that you can send an e-mail to the user coded by directory name. An example:
The recipients field contains the following:
The checked directory is C:\Home\Users\User1
If the directory breaks your defined limit, the Mail Alert will be sent to user1@myserver.com.
