Configuring the “Notify” Step

Configure Notify Step

  1. Select Team Members to Notify:
    • In the dialog box that appears, select the team members you want to notify by choosing from the dropdown menu. You can select multiple team members to keep everyone informed.
  2. Compose the Notification Message:
    • Enter the message you want to send to the selected team members. You can include important details about the contact or any specific instructions.

    • Utilize Merge Tags to dynamically insert contact information, such as the contact’s name, email, or phone number. This helps personalize the notification and provides team members with quick access to relevant details. Merge tags will not render if the field data is missing for the contact.

  3. Choose Notification Type:
    • Select whether you want the notification to be sent as an Email or an In-App Notification (or both). Checking both options will send an email and an in-app notification to the selected team members.
  4. Save the Step:
    • After configuring the notification settings, click Create Step to add the “Notify” step to your workflow.
