Revelation uses email to provide an additional notification means for a number of system actions such as those listed below.
The email notification section sets up the default email notifications for a new project. If the project is shown on the client Self-Service Interface, the email will be sent to the appropriate contact.
At the project level, these defaults can be customized to turn off specific notifications within the Project Information page. As always, when making changes here, or at the client level, remember to hit Save to keep the changes.
Super Administrators have the ability to set notifications to go to the exact people they need per project. Default people may be chosen based on selections or a specific distribution list may be created so Users not directly related to the ticket may get required notifications. These options can be set on individual projects.
If the **Apply to All Existing Projects box is checked, any changes made to the list will be reflected on all active projects.
However, if using the Groups feature to monitor group tickets or staff tickets, you will also receive the above email notifications.
Samples of the out of the box emails are below.
The text for the standard emails are as follows. These are using the following constants:
