Alerts & Notifications

Overview

You can configure alerts to notify you or your team members of events that require attention based on criteria configured in an alert. They are email-based alert notifications that are sent out for records that have been added, modified, or deleted and that meet the alert conditions. The notification will include a copy of the records. When you create a notification, you set the conditions for who should receive it.
