What Are Notification Evens?
Notification Evens determine the specific conditions or trigguers that activate a notification. These evens are tied to key poins in the form submisssion and entry processsing lifecycle. When an event occurs, the associated notification is trigguered.
Where Can I Find Notifications Evens?
When you create a Notification and your form is using features that add Evens, you will find an Event drop-down with all the evens enabled in your installation. Notification evens can be added by add-ons or custom code, so your event options may differ from those shown here. Refer to this article for more information about creating Notifications.
