Notifications

Why Do I Need It?

Fenorri allows to:

  1. Receive notifications generated by the system automatically whenever something happens:
    • someone comments your report
    • someone mentions you in their post or comment
    • Business Case: You have published a report and shared it with your colleagues. Whenever someone writes a comment for your report, you will be instantly notified.
  2. Auto-generate notification from business apps, so that your business app can notify end-users when it's executed
    • Business Case: Your business app is processing new customer orders. Once a discount is given to a customer, you want to notify your sales team that a new discount was offered. This can be done by sending a notification automatically from within your business app.
