Send Notification

The Send Notification action is similar to the Send Email action, but instead of sending an email, it sends a notification within the Tabidoo. This is useful for in-app alerts or notifications about specific events or changes, keeping users informed without using email.

Configuration Options

To Whom (Recipient Emails)

• Enter the recipient email addresses in the To Whom field, separated by commas.
• You can also click the "+" button, which opens a modal window with several options:
  • Static Email Address: Manually enter one or more email addresses in a text box.
  • Table Field: Choose a field from the table (based on the trigger) that contains the email addresses of your records.
  • Role: Select a predefined application role whose members will receive the notification.
  • System Value: Choose from predefined system options:
    • Created by: Send to the user who created the record.
    • Author of last change: Send to the user who last updated the record.
    • Author of previous change: Send to the user who made the previous change.
    • All users in audit: Send to all users involved in the record’s audit trail.

Enable Notification for Author of the Change

• Check the "Enable to send a notification to the author of the change if the author exists in the recipients" checkbox to automatically notify the author of the change, if they are part of the recipients list.

Subject (Optional)

• Enter the subject for the notification in the "Subject" field.

Template

• Select the type of notification template you want to use for the content of the notification:
  • Standard System Template: The notification body will be filled with a predefined system template based on the selected trigger.
  • Custom Message Body: Full freedom to design the notification body, using the rich text editor, with no predefined frame.

Use Case Examples

• Send a notification to the project manager when a task status changes.
• Notify a user when they are assigned a new task or when they are mentioned in a chat.
• Alert team members about a critical update to a shared project or document.

The Send Notification action is perfect for creating quick, in-app alerts without relying on email, keeping users informed directly within the platform, and helping teams stay updated on important events.
