Role-based notification recipients

When you configure an email notification, it is often for an event where you can't predict who the named individual will be. This is especially true when you set up workflow rules. You cannot anticipate who will be filling different key roles when a workflow rule fires, but you want the Primary Resource to receive a notification on any given ticket.

EXAMPLE  When a ticket is created, notify the Primary Resource.

For this reason, Autotask lets you notify users based on their role. When you select a role-based recipient, the application determines who currently fills the selected role or assignment, and sends the notification to the correct individual(s). In this way, the same notification setting can apply across a wide range of circumstances.

This topic lists the pages that have notification options, and the role-based recipients that are available. The New and Edit modes of a page usually have the same notification options.

Some definitions include multiple descriptions, indicating that there are differences in who will receive the notification depending on the associated entity or where the Recipient option is available.
