What are Alerts?
Alerts are intended to keep users up-to-date on a Participant’s progress by notifying users in real-time whenever a key action takes place. For example, an Alert can be sent when:
A TouchPoint response is submitted or edited
A new Participant or Entity is enrolled or dismissed from a program
Key data is edited by another user
A new Participant is referred to a program
A Workflow begins, moves forward, or is completed (only available for customers with the Workflow add-on)
An intake form is completed and a Participant is enrolled in Connect (this is specific to Program Enrollment, and will not trigger on a TouchPoint attached to an Intake form)
Note: Alerts can take up to 1 hour to trigger once the criteria has been met for the alert. Any delays longer than an hour should be reported to support.
How Alerts Work
Alerts are:
Configured by Administrators
Triggered when Core Conditions are met
Sent to Recipient Groups that you select
Visible on the user's Alerts page and optionally emailed
Alert recipients can be ETO users or Entity contacts and are designated by the Administrator when the Alert is created. Recipients do not need to have an open ETO session to receive an alert via email.
Time-Based Alerts
Alerts can now be configured to trigger after a defined delay. A Time-Based Alert becomes active only after the specified delay has passed following a triggering event or referenced date element. Delays can be set in days, weeks, months or years. Until the delay period has passed, the alert remains inactive and will not be visible to users.
For example, you can configure an alert to appear 7 days after a TouchPoint is submitted or 90 days after a Program Enrollment completes.
