Automating Notifications in Hoicko

What are automated notifications?

Automated notifications are alerts generated by a workflow when a defined event or condition occurs.

They remove the need for employees to manually remind others about every update.

Common examples

Notifications can be useful when:

• A task is assigned.
• An approval is required.
• A request changes status.
• A deadline is approaching.
• A workflow is completed.
• An exception requires attention.

Good notification design

An effective notification should communicate:

What happened?

Why does it matter?

Who needs to act?

What should happen next?

Avoid notification overload

More notifications do not automatically mean better communication.

Too many alerts can cause users to ignore important messages.

Automate only meaningful events.

Example

Instead of notifying the entire organization whenever a task changes, notify only the people responsible for the next action.
