Drag the code snippets from the bottom onto the boxes in the code to configure the set_alerts function to send an email to all admins if a setting is modified by using the Cisco Meraki API. Not all options are used.

Drag & Drop
def set_alerts(network_id, default_emails, alert_emails, meraki_url, meraki_apiKey):
    url = meraki_url + "/networks/"+network_id+
    headers = {
        "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key": meraki_apiKey,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "defaultDestinations": {
            "emails": default_emails,
            "snmp": False,
            "allAdmins": False
        },
        "alerts": [
            {
                "type": ,
                "enabled": True,
                "alertDestinations": {
                    "emails": alert_emails,
                    "snmp": False,
                    "allAdmins": 
                },
                "filters": {}
            }
        ]
    }
    response = requests.request(, url, headers = headers,
    data = json.dumps(payload)).text
    return response
Explanation

Meraki network alert settings are updated with a PUT request to the network alerts-settings resource. The settingsChanged alert type represents configuration changes, and setting its alert destination's allAdmins property to True sends the notification to all administrators.
