Notification Events

The events you can subscribe to depend on the type of object.

You can also choose to be notified about route events. You cannot subscribe to a route they do not belong to. The app automatically notifies the route owner when the route is complete and it notifies people when they have a pending task without subscribing. You cannot subscribe to routes that have a Finished status.

Pushed Subscriptions

The owner of an item can push subscriptions for the item to other users who have at least Read access to the item. Subscriptions cannot be pushed to an access role. For example, the owner of a Bookmark Root can have the system notify specific members whenever a route is started. These pushed subscriptions are added to the list of subscriptions the members have chosen for themselves. This means that it is possible for a person to receive two notifications when an event occurs for an item: one for a subscription the recipient initiated and another for a subscription that was "pushed" from the item's owner. The recipient of the notifications can distinguish between the two notifications though because pushed notifications indicate who initiated the subscription and that the subscription was pushed.

The option to push subscriptions is available to for all Bookmark Root items that can be subscribed to (Bookmark Root, Bookmarks, routes, documents in Bookmarks, and so on). Push subscriptions is available only for the owner of an item. The item owner can push subscriptions for any event that they can normally subscribe to for that type of item. Members cannot remove a subscription that has been pushed to them.

Push subscriptions are not available for RFQ Management content, such as RFQs, packages, and quotations.

Subscription Notifications

You receive notifications about the events you subscribe to in your Messages inbox and at the email address specified in your profile. The subject of the notification will be the event for which you subscribed, such as Task Completed, Bookmark Created, or New Reply. The content of the message includes the name of the Bookmark Root component that you subscribed to and the date and time the event occurred. The message also contains a URL link to the item you subscribed to. To view details about the item, click the link. The messages for pushed subscriptions look identical to ones that you subscribe to yourself.
