You are absolutely correct. My bad.

I got it setup here and it's working. However there is a limitation on it. It will not alert if you just press "Reload now". You need to save the a trigger on it. To verify, you can check the task xml file (default location C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Tasks). In the root node of the task you should see a parameter SendAlertEmail with the value set to "True".

You can then check your task log that it contains a row:
