Notification node properties

Property

Description

Description

A description of the task/assignment. (Note that while you can create rules/logic with operators, functions, etc. for this field that this is not commonly used for the Notification node.)

Email Format

Type of notification that goes out when the task is assigned. Possible values are:

  • HTML — the email notification is sent in HTML format.
  • HTML and Text — the email notification is sent in both HTML and text format, and the mobile device automatically determines which view (text or HTML) to display.
  • Text — the email notification is sent in text format.

Note: In order to support as many devices as possible, the options HTML/Text and Text were designed for mobile devices. Some devices fully support HTML/text emails; for those that do not, the Text option should be used. Winshuttle recommends running some tests with your workflow and mobile device(s) to determine which option is best for your users.
