Workflow Alerts

Workflow Alerts

Workflow Alerts are among the actions associated with a workflow rule. Alerts are nothing but emails or SMS triggers that are sent to Temps, Contacts, and Users. When you associate a workflow alert to a workflow rule, the selected email or SMS is automatically sent to the chosen recipients when the rule is triggered for records meeting the criteria specified in the rule.
