  2. After creating the notification template go to the Work Flow Setup > Problems module, and find a problem you want customer notification to be sent out for.
  3. Select the "Cust Thank You" and/or "Cust Completed" check boxes on the Defaults tab. These indicate whether the selected problem will send Customer Thank You and/or Customer Completion emails when associated with a Request.
