How do I customize notification methods for a specific alert?

What Are Customized Alert Notification Methods?


Customized alert notification methods allow you to define how specific alerts are delivered to recipients listed on a specific alert. By default, all alerts are sent to each user through their selected notification method specified in their user profile.

However, with customized alert notification methods, you can override these defaults and choose a different method for specific alerts.

Why Are Customized Alert Notification Methods Useful?


Customized alert notification methods offer valuable flexibility, especially when dealing with alerts of varying priority levels. You can tailor the notification method based on the priority and urgency of an alert. For instance, you might opt for more visible and immediate methods like text messages or phone calls for critical alerts, ensuring they are not overlooked.

Which Methods Can I Choose?

When customizing alert notification methods, you can choose from a range of available options, including:
  • Text Messages
  • Push Notifications
  • Phone Calls
  • Emails
