About Automated Notifications

The automated notifications feature is an event-driven system that sends email notifications
when the specified event occurs. The system uses listeners that monitor the system to
determine when a particular event has occurred, and then trigger the notification system
when the event does occur. Each type of notification is associated with a template in either
plain text or HTML format that is used to construct the notification message. The template
contains text and tokens that are expanded at run time to fill in the correct information for a
particular event. The messages can be customized by changing the text and tokens
contained in the templates. The HTML templates can be further customized by changing
the HTML tags to create a different appearance for the message.
