How to send Alert via e-mail?

Filed under: [Edit Tags]

You need to create Alert subscription in order to send alert via email. Note, that SMTP must be added to the list of communications.

Click “New Alert Subscription”.

Type Alert title. Select  “SMTP” in the “Communication Type” and point “Enable” in the “Status” field. 

Fill out the fields in “General” tab as shown on the screen.

Check the box “Combine alerts into single notification” if you want to send a set of alerts.

Then you have to define who will receive the alert in the “Recipients” tab. Select the required option and define recipients.

Open “Message View” tab and type the text to be displayed in the alert. You can use templates on the right as well.

Click “Save” to finish subscription creation.

New alert subscription will appear in the list of all subscriptions.

I am trying to use the lookups {fieldname} in a table and nothing is showing up. When I use them in text they do not show their values either.

I have tried using the ones to the side of the rishtext area, but no values turn up when email alert is recieved. I have tried typing them myself and they do not show up. Is there some other setting to add the fields values to either a table or text in the Email body?

Sincerely

I am using bamboo lookup fields for cascading columns. Using alerts does not include those fileds. Is this a possibility?
