Recipients
Understanding and using the recipient section appropriately helps in effectively notifying the stakeholders. The recipient is divided mainly into three sections which are displayed based on the selected medium:
Figure: Notification - Recipient
To - The "To" field is used to specify the primary recipients of the notification. These are the individuals or groups that the sender expects to read and respond. Include the main recipients who are directly involved or expected to take action.
Cc - The "CC" field is used to include additional recipients who may be interested in the notification content. CC recipients are not the main addressees but are still receiving a copy for information. Inform others or keep them in the loop without making them the primary audience.
Bcc - The "BCC" field is used to include recipients whose identities should remain hidden from other recipients. This can be useful when the sender wants to protect the privacy of certain individuals without revealing everyone's email addresses.
You can add the type of recipient based on their groups. The types of recipients are explained in the following table:
| Type of Recipient | Description |
|---|---|
| Users | Type the name of the user you want to add as a recipient and select the name searched name from the result section.
