Notification Activities

All notifications can be of two types: user notifications and administrator notifications. Each notification type is divided into success and failure notifications. So, for each workflow four notification activities are available:

  • Email user if workflow succeeds
  • Email user if workflow fails
  • Email administrator if workflow succeeds
  • Email administrator if workflow fails

IMPORTANT: Before configuring notifications, ensure that you have configured the outgoing mail servers. To specify the SMTP server settings, use the procedure outlined in Outgoing Mail Servers .

Customizing Notifications

By default, Email user if workflow succeeds and Email user if workflow fails activities are included in every self-service and helpdesk workflow. These activities contain predefined notification templates that correspond to a workflow. For example, user notification activities in the Forgot My Password workflow offer templates about successful/failed password reset.

The notification templates are available in 17 languages: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish.

By default, for each user notification activity included in the default workflow configuration 17 languages are available: English as the default language and the others as additional languages. You can also select more languages by clicking the Add new language link in the notification activity dialog box.

The language of notification corresponds to the language of a user’s Q&A profile. If the Q&A profile is configured in a language that is not included in the list of languages available for Password Manager email notifications, the user will receive the notification in the default language.

 IMPORTANT: Predefined notification templates in 17 languages are available for user notifications only (Email user if workflow succeeds and Email user if workflow fails activities).

You can customize email notification messages distributed by Password Manager to meet specific requirements in your organization.

The following table describes parameters that you can use in email notifications:
