I think it would be nice if admins could receive an email when there is a new critical update available for a Discourse instance (according to the branch being used). Even better would be if a webhook could be triggered. Essentially for the same conditions in which the ’ A critical update is available. Please upgrade!’ message is shown on the admin dashboard.

Is this not provided by the version checks and new version emails settings? I think a critical update would get a version bump, which should trigger both of those?

Thanks @JammyDodger! I somehow missed that when searching. Though it appears that the email used for this setting must be listed publicly on the /about page. I had left ‘contact_email’ empty (opting for using contact_url), which explains why I have not been receiving these emails. I do think that the email used for administrative critical alerts shouldn’t be the same as the email listed publicly for support/general contact emails though. One email would make more sense to go to a support ticketing system, while the other should go to the server admin.

Now you mention it, that does sound familiar. I think there’s an open #ux topic here suggesting making those emails more configurable: [imagem] Change sending New Version email to developer email (or configurable group) UX Yes, That’s a pain point. It should rather default to the developer_emails as defined in app.yml because the dev/sysadmin is far more interested in pushing the update than website support (which could be a non-tech team altogether)

Agora que você mencionou, isso realmente soa familiar. Acho que há um tópico Contribute > UX aberto aqui sugerindo tornar esses e-mails mais configuráveis:
