Notifications

Corteza provides a flexible notification system that allows you to send notifications for any event that is supported by workflow triggers.

That gives you complete control over:

  • When notifications are sent

  • Who receives them

  • What information they contain

Make sure that the user invoking the workflow has the permission to assign notifications to users (Admin Area  System  Permissions  `Allow notification assignment)

Enabling notifications

First head to the Admin Area and navigate to the User Interface  Settings and scroll down to the Topbar section.

Make sure the Hide notifications is not ticked.
