Generic Erasure Email integration

A Generic Erasure Email integration allows Fides to send a weekly email to a generic email address of your choice, containing the identities of all the data subjects that have submitted an erasure request in the past week.

Generic Erasure Emails can be used to notify a third-party vendor of their obligations to erase any personal data associated with the provided identities.

Prerequisites

In order to setup a Generic Erasure Email integration, you'll first need to configure an email provider. See our guide for configuring a message service.
