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.
