About Notifications

Let's now talk about notifications. They're everywhere. Right? Well, Asset Panda is no different because we give you the option to create multiple notifications, helping you to make sure that your workflow is set up as efficiently as possible.

Our standard notification types are:

Group: Such as when a record is added, modified, or deleted from a group.
Action: Such as when someone transfers an asset to someone else.
Field: Such as when a warranty expiration date is approaching.
Reservation: Such as when a reservation is about to begin or end.

We'll first discuss where you need to go to get started on your notification creation (see the Create notifications section below. We'll then jump into more detail on how you actually build one (see Build a Notification).

NOTE: Deleting a notification does not delete notifications that have already been sent. It only prevents future notifications from being triggered.
