Enable configurable recipients for Activator error notifications - critical for monitoring

[pwand]

According to the official documentation: "If a problem occurs with any of your Fabric Activator events, objects, or rules after you create them, then Fabric Activator sends you an email containing an error code."
However:

• The recipient is not configurable (hardcoded to item creator only)
• This limitation is not documented
• No alternative notification channels are available

This creates a critical blind spot for production monitoring when:

• Activators are deployed via service principal (cannot receive emails)
• The original creator leaves the team or changes roles
• Multiple team members need visibility into system errors

Requested Feature:
Enable configuration of error notification recipients through:

1. Workspace-level notification settings
2. Distribution list/group email support
3. Integration with workspace contacts/admins

Use Case:
Our production Activators are deployed via CI/CD pipelines using service principals. Without configurable notifications, we have no way to receive critical error alerts, making Activator unsuitable for production use

I agree this is an important concern. Configurable error notifications are necessary for production environments, especially when Activators are deployed using service principals through CI CD pipelines. Without flexible recipient settings, monitoring becomes difficult. Submitting this as an idea in the Ideas Forum would help gather votes and increase visibility. This feature would improve reliability for enterprise deployments.
