Trigger Notifications are a key method of communicating with stakeholders and are part of the Notifications functionality. There are a wide range of Trigger Notification types, each one used for a different piece of functionality.
Trigger Notifications are sent based on a User's action in the Platform. This includes items like Registration Confirmations and Password Changes.
Each Notification is created with default content that can be customised to suit your needs.
All Trigger Notifications are Disabled by default and must be enabled by an Admin.
Edit and manage Trigger Notifications
At least one User for the Notification to be sent to
Within the Admin Tools Dashboard, navigate to the “Marketing” module and then “Notifications” via the charcoal navigational bar on the left-hand side of the platform.
Click the ‘Trigger Notifications' tab on top of the screen
Click the black ‘Actions’ button and then the ‘Edit’ pencil to the far-right of the notification you would like to edit.
Within the 'Subject Line' field, add a subject line for the email.
Within the 'From Line' field, add who you would like the email to be sent from. Or, you can leave it blank, and it will be sent from the name of the Tenant.
Within the 'Header Text' field, enter a line of text that to display in the header banner of the email. This line will not be visible if you have added an Image to the Email Header Banner Image section in the Tenant settings, see "How To: Create Tenant"
Within the 'Email Body' field, input the body of the email you'd like to send. Do not edit/copy/paste any of the strings defined in {{ }} or as {% %} as they are hardcoded into the particular Trigger Notification and will be replaced by dynamic content.
Within the 'Footer Text' field, add a line of text to display in the footer banner of the email.
Under 'Send Email', select Enabled.
Click 'Submit'.
Under the 'Send Email' column, once a notification is Enabled, it will say 'True'. If Disabled, it will say 'False'.
Prior to enabling a Trigger Notification, you may wish to send yourself a test to proof first.
Within the Admin Tools Dashboard, navigate to the “Marketing” module and then 'Notifications' via the charcoal navigational bar on the left-hand side of the platform.
Click the ‘Trigger Notifications’ tab on top of the screen.
Click the black “Actions” button and then 'Send a Test Email' from the dropdown to the far-right of the applicable notification.
Within the 'Send To' field, input your email address.
Click 'Send Test Email', and you should receive the email shortly.
Please note that any inbuilt links within the email will be generic URLs for testing purposes only, not valid addresses.
