Your organization can create custom email alerts to inform users of activity in the database. For example, you can create an alert to inform a user when specific constituents make a large donation. From the record of an application user, you can manage the custom email alerts the user receives.
Note: When you assign a custom alert to a user, the user receives the selected alert type at the email address that appears under Alert settings on the Email preferences tab. If the user does not have an email address entered when you attempt to assign an alert, the Edit alert settings screen appears so you can enter an address for the user. For information about the Edit alert settings screen, see Edit Alert Settings for an Application User.
