Zoho FSM | Notifications

Notifications

In Zoho FSM, there are two types of notifications:
  1. System Notifications
  2. Custom Notifications

System Notifications

Through the system notifications, users will get notified about relevant updates. The notifications may be of events that require action from the user (e.g. an estimate is approved) or might just convey some information (e.g. notes are added to an appointment). The notifications can be viewed both on the web and mobile app.
Info
The user who initiated the event that triggered the notification will not receive the notification.

Scenarios for System Notifications

The table below describes the events for which a notification will be triggered and their respective recipients. Field agents can view the notification in the FSM mobile app.
