System Notifications

Details

System Notifications are used throughout the system for automated, pre-set system messages.

System Notification setup provides filters to include who the notification is about, what the notification is about, and when a notification is triggered. A template defines the message and includes merge fields to personalize and provide relevant information.

For each System Notification record, one "System Event" with a corresponding field set can be selected. Its template typically is defined with standardized messages that include field placeholders, similar to merge-fields in a form letter, which can be used to personalize notifications by including system information, such as the name of the recipient or the date that something is due.

Business Scenario

Automate online notifications with customizable online templates. Managers and employees can be notified of upcoming performance reviews, expiring certifications, and more.

For instance, define automatic reminders and notifications, such as letting employees know when their probationary employment ends.
