Article summary

The third action in the Custom Scheduler is Notify Recipients. This action allows to send notification to the respective recipient at any point of time without any delay. 

Use Case
User Persona: Analyst
Solution
NovaTech has certain tasks which are moved to pending status with reason "awaiting user response". These have not been updated for 5 days. The Analyst wants to update the status of these tickets to cancel and send a notification to the callers on the status. The Analyst wants to reduce manual efforts in this task.  To achieve this, Sam an Application Designer configures the scheduler to auto cancel the incident and send a notification to callers for individual records. The scheduler runs the job and cancels all the tickets moved to pending status with the reason "awaiting user response" and not updated for 5 days. Simultaneously a notification is sent to the caller that these tickets have been cancelled. 

Configure Notify Recipients

The action Notify Recipients is configured by defining Notification Frequency Per Record, Medium, Templates and Recipient records. For more information, refer the field description table below.

Note
When the Current Approver or By Role is being added, then no additional recipient can be added to the 'To' field. When we try to add another role in the "To" field, the following validation message appears.

CcThe "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.
BccThe "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.
