Question.<\/dt>\n
\n

How can I send email notifications to assignees and offer candidates when a task is created?<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n

Answer.<\/dt>\n
\n

You can notify the target users via email in two ways.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

When a new Task is created at a Human Task step (whether it is directly assigned to an assignee and enters [My Tasks], or it enters [Offered] for multiple candidates), you can send email notifications to the target users. The two methods are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nNotification via each user’s personal settings (enabled by default)<\/strong>
    If each user has enabled arrival notifications in [Account Settings > Notifications], they will receive an email when a Task is created at a step they are responsible for (enabled by default; applies to both [My Tasks] and [Offered]). For the personal settings procedure, refer to “M108: Changing Notification Settings and Language Settings<\/a>“.<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Force notifications from the workflow side<\/strong>
    As a designer, if you want to ensure notifications are sent regardless of each user’s personal settings, enable the checkboxes under [Email Notification] in the target Human Task.<\/p>\n
