    <p><em>Settings related to configuring Service Level Agreements (SLAs).</em></p>
    <p>
      SLAs enable you to configure the volume you expect connectors in your flow to send or receive, and to set the time frame in which you expect that volume to be met. {siteName} sends emails to warn the user when an SLA is not met, and marks the SLA as <em>At Risk</em>, which means that if the SLA is not met soon, it will be marked as <em>Violated</em>. This gives the user an opportunity to step in and determine the reasons the SLA is not being met, and to take appropriate actions. If the SLA is still not met at the end of the at-risk time period, the SLA is marked as violated, and the user is notified again.
    </p>
    <p>
      To define an SLA, toggle <strong>Expected Volume</strong> on, then click the <strong>Settings</strong> tab.

    <ul>
      <li>If your connector has separate send and receive actions, use the radio buttons to specify which direction the SLA pertains to.</li>
      <li>In the <strong>Expect at least</strong> portion of the window:
        <ul>
          <li>Set the minimum number of transactions you expect to be processed (the volume)</li>
          <li>Use the <strong>Every</strong> fields to specify the time frame</li>
          <li>Indicate when the SLA should go into effect. If you choose <strong>Starting on</strong>, complete the date and time fields.</li>
          <li>Check the boxes for the days of the week that you want the SLA to be in effect. Use the dropdown to choose <strong>Everyday</strong> if necessary.</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>In the <strong>Set status to 'At Risk'</strong> portion of the window, specify when the SLA should be marked as at risk.
        <ul>
          <li>By default, notifications are not sent until an SLA is in violation. To change that, check <strong>Send an 'At Risk' notification</strong>.</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      The following example shows an SLA configured for a connector that expects to receive 1000 files every day Monday-Friday. An at-risk notification is sent 1 hour before the end of the time period if the 1000 files have not been received.

    <Note>
      You can turn off SLA alerts if necessary. This can be useful during maintenance windows. Click <strong>Settings</strong> on the navbar, then navigate to <strong>Alerts &gt; General Alerts</strong>. Click the tablet and pencil icon to edit, and uncheck the <strong>SLA Alerts</strong> setting.

    <p><em>Settings related to configuring alerts.</em></p>

      Before you can execute Service Level Agreements (SLAs), you need to set up email alerts for notifications. By default, {siteNameShort} uses the global settings on the <a href="/26.3/cloud/en/getting-started/administration/settings/alerts">Alerts</a> tab. To use other settings for this connector, toggle <strong>Override global setting</strong> on.
    </p>
    <p>
      By default, error alerts are enabled, which means that emails are sent whenever there is an error. To turn them off, uncheck the <strong>Enable</strong> checkbox.
    </p>
    <p>
      Enter a <strong>Subject</strong> (mandatory). Check <strong>Allow {siteNameShort}Script in Subject</strong> to use {siteNameShort}Script in the <strong>Subject</strong> field. When you select this, the <strong>{siteNameShort}Script Editor</strong> button appears (<img src="/public/images/rest_arcscript_editor.png" alt="arcscript editor button" style={{

The Workspace Send connector transports {siteName} messages between workspaces.

## Key Capabilities

* Inter-workspace message transport with metadata preservation for cross-workspace flows
* Static and dynamic delivery modes with header-based workspace routing
* Paired with [Workspace Receive](./workspace-receive) connector for seamless workspace-to-workspace communication

## Overview

The Workspace Send connector ensures that message metadata persists as messages are passed from one workspace to another. Since {siteNameShort} uses message metadata to track files through the flow, this helps ensure that files are logged, monitored, and processed correctly.

This connector has very simple configuration because each Workspace Send connector is paired with one Workspace Receive connector. Primary configuration is simply a matter of setting the appropriate workspace and the name of the Workspace Receive Connector in that workspace.

## Connector Configuration

This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.

### Settings Tab

| **Workspace Id**        | The workspace to send messages to. Applicable when **Delivery Mode** is set to **Static**.                                                                                                                                                   |
| **Connector Id**        | The name of the Workspace Receive connector in the target workspace where files are sent. Applicable when **Delivery Mode** is set to **Static**.                                                                                            |
| **Workspace Id Header** | The name of the header that specifies the destination workspace for messages. Applicable when **Delivery Mode** is set to **Dynamic**.                                                                                                       |

| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Processing Delay** | The amount of time (in seconds) by which the processing of files placed in the **Transactions** tab is delayed. This is a legacy setting. Best practice is to [use a File connector](../flows/designing-a-flow#interacting-with-the-local-file-system) to manage local file systems instead of this setting. |
