# Not receiving Inventory Alerts

### Problem

You have set up inventory alerts, but you do not receive any alerts.

### Cause

You will not receive inventory alerts if you have not configured the Mail Server Settings and SMS Sever Settings in Endpoint Central Server.

### Resolution

Before you proceed to configure the mail and SMS server settings, check whether the last scan performed has been successful or not. To verify the same:

- Go to **Scan Systems** under the **Inventory** tab.
- Check the **last successful scan** details for the required computer. If the last performed scan status is **failed**, refer to this [document](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/help/inventory/inventory_scanning_failure.html) for troubleshooting steps.

If the recent scan has been successfully performed, configure the SMS and mail server settings.
