Answer Area

Drag items

Configure Database Mail.Configure a job notification.Configure an alert.Configure SendGrid.Create an operator.

Correct arrangement

  • Configure Database Mail.
  • Create an operator.
  • Configure a job notification.

Explanation

To enable email notifications for SQL Agent job failures on an Azure SQL Managed Instance, you must first Configure Database Mail (to set up the SMTP email infrastructure), then Create an Operator (a named recipient that references the Database Mail profile/email address), and finally Configure a job notification (to link the job's failure event to that operator). This three-step sequence is the native SQL Server Agent approach built into Managed Instance and requires no external services, minimizing administrative effort.
