Enter the minimum number of characters that should be present in the password of a user's account. Default is 8 characters.

Range: 8 to 32
Require special characters Click to enable (default) or disable the use of special characters in the password.

Table 4: Parameters to Configure Webhooks
Field Description
Name Enter the name of the server or application to which notifications for subscribed events are to be sent.

You must configure webhooks to enable Paragon Automation to send notifications to third-party applications, such as Slack, when events you have subscribed to are triggered on the managed devices.

To receive webhook notifications in a format that is compatible with Slack, you need to configure an intermediary that can interact with the sending and receiving applications, in this case, Paragon Automation and Slack. The recommended intermediary platform is Make. For more information, see Configure Webhooks to Receive Event Notifications.
