Setting Up Notifications

Notification Formats

There are four notification formats available:

• Email
• Text Messages
• Reports (sent to printers)
• Lucity Messenger (pop-up messages)

Users can create multiple notifications for each module or using each format; however, certain notification types (such as the Customer Thank You) can be sent only via email. Users can also automatically insert module data into the subject line or body of email notifications.
