What it does: 

• Set notifications sets for users or techs, which can help alert you to changes in your account.  
• Allows you to set up notifications for users via Email, SMS, In-App Notifications, Mobile push notifications, and Webhooks

The Notification Center is a powerful tool that allows you to create notifications sets for you as the administrator or any of the techs that work for you, which can help alert you to changes in your account. You can add a single user or multiple users to be alerted with each unique notification 

 

 

Things to keep in mind

 

When creating notification center rules: 

If you want a particular notification to go to everyone, you'll create one notification rule set. 

If you want it to only go to one person, you'll create a separate notification rule set for that person  

 

For example:
Tech A and Tech B both need to be notified when a ticket is assigned to them. However, you don't want Tech A being notified of Tech B's tickets, and vice versa. Thus, you will create a ticket assignment notification rule set for Tech A and another for Tech B.

 

 

 

Setting up a new Notification Set:

 

You can find the Notification Center under Admin > Notification Center 

Click 'New Notification Set' 

 

 

 

 

Enter the name of your notification rule and select users to notify by using the drop-down box. 

Here you can also add your webhook URL and add additional emails of (non-users)  and an Additional SMS Notifications who you would also like to notify.

 

 

Next, select the triggering events for the notifications

(there are a lot. there are more options than what's in the screenshot!)
