 Heads up! This article is intended for Site Managers. Only Site Managers can review and manage automated notifications for the site. 


There are automated notifications triggered by certain actions and events on your site. When these notifications are triggered, they're automatically sent to the designated users. Some notifications are meant specifically for your Agency Managers. Here we look at what those notifications are and what they do! 

 So you know: Some sites use the word "need" in place of "opportunity", "agency" in place of "program", and "prerequisite" in place of "qualification". You can request a language override for your site by contacting us, but the language in templates won't reflect those changes. 


Notifications for Agency Managers 

Automated notifications are triggered and sent to different recipient types on your site when they take certain actions or when they have pending items for review.

✏️ Quick tip: You can filter automated notifications by the user recipient type! 

1. Go to Communication > Notifications and type the user type in the field under Recipient

2. Click Enter on your keyboard to filter the table! 

For example, if you want to see all of the automated notifications that are sent to volunteers, type Volunteer in the recipient field and hit Enter on your keyboard:
