"Email Alert" node

The Email Alert node sends an email to selected users in the workspace when an incident occurs in business processes. These email notifications are especially useful when urgent action is needed from Synerise users. You can use this node to inform about anomalies, getting closer to a workflow goal, form submissions, running out of coupons, and other events.

Requirements

• Create an alert email template.
