NOTIFICATIONS PAGE Basics

The Notifications page displays all possible events able to be notified for. There may be additional pages of events; locate the pagination near the bottom of the table. Here you can go to the next page of results, or change the number of rows displayed on the page.

ADD SUBSCRIBERS FOR A SPECIFIC EVENT FROM NOTIFICATIONS TAB

Subscribers can also be added to the system directly from the Notifications tab for a specific event.

 

From the Notifications tab, click the +Add Subscriber button next to the desired event.

Enter the subscriber's name and additional information. Click Add when finished.

  • If the preferred delivery method is email, select the box for “Preferred method to receive notifications” under the email field and enter their email address.
  • If the preferred delivery method is text, select “Preferred method to receive notifications” under the Phone Number field and enter their cell phone number.

Note: Adding a subscriber this way will automatically add them to the overall Subscribers page. Therefore, you will not want to add a subscriber here if they have already been added from the Subscribers page. Doing so will create a duplicate subscriber.

If you need to add more event notifications for a specific subscriber, you can then go to the Subscribers tab and toggle additional event notifications on by editing the subscriber's information, as outlined in the previous section.

 

WHAT THE SUBSCRIBER WILL SEE WHEN NOTIFIED OF AN EVENT

When notified of an event occurrence, the notification will be sent to the list of subscribers at their designated preferred delivery method. Below are examples of what the subscriber will see.
