In addition to the standard notifications from vPlan, you can configure your notifications in the automation centre.
There are several options available that can ''trigger'' the notification.
- Notification when a label is added.
- Notification when a status is changed.
As always, with these automations, you can decide which conditions apply, and to which users the notifications are sent.
In this article, the automations above are explained together with examples.
Useful:
For standard vPlan notifications, please visit: Notification Centre
