Scheduled Task: Notifications

You may receive an email notification each time this scheduled task is scheduled to start. To receive an email notification prior to the scheduled task launching, select the Notify task owner option. The email notification will be sent to the scheduled task owner and any additional email addresses entered for the scheduled task. Define when you'd like the notification sent out, enter a list of email recipients, and provide custom email text.

Notify task owner

Select this option if you want an email notification to be sent to the scheduled task owner each time the scheduled task is scheduled to start. Then identify when you'd like the notification to be sent. The notification may be sent in 1-31 days, 1-24 hours or 5-120 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Note: If the scheduled task is scheduled to start in a shorter timeframe than the notification setting, then the email is sent immediately. For example, if you want the notification sent 3 hours before the task starts but the task is scheduled to start in 1 hour, then the email is sent as soon as you save your changes. Note also that the email notification is sent immediately if you reactivate a task that was previously deactivated and the next start time is sooner than the notification setting.

Also send notices to the following email addresses

To notify additional people of the scheduled task, enter one or more email addresses in the field provided. When you enter multiple email addresses, separate each email address with one of the following: comma, semi-colon, vertical bar or carriage return. The email notification will be sent to the task owner plus all additional email addresses listed. Tip: If you have a large number of people to notify then it's recommended that you use email aliases (such as [email protected]) to make maintaining the list easier.

Custom message to email recipients

Enter a custom message to include in the email notification. Your custom message will appear in the email each time a notification is sent for this scheduled task. All email notifications will include general scheduled task details like the task title, task owner, scheduled start time and the option profile selected for the task.
