System Notifications

Notifications are automated messages that confirm changes or alert constituents of updates. For example, with Giving, donors can receive an e-mail that confirms that their gift was submitted, and administrators can receive an e-mail alerting them that a gift needs processing.

Information about individual notifications can be found on the respective application notification pages.
