      Note
      The field where you type the email is case-sensitive. Incorrectly spelled email addresses and those that do not match the entry in User Management will make the exclusion unsuccessful.

      
      
      
   6. Click Next after typing the user email.
   7. Keep clicking Next on the pop-up windows until you reach the last window, where you have to click Finish.
      For our example, the ConnectWise Manage Late Time Entry Alert bot, click Next on the Alert and Escalation windows, then click Finish.  
   8. When the bot's tab reappears, click Save to keep the new settings.
