This page explains how to use the user notification rule settings to configure PhixFlow to send emails automatically.

This properties tab is not available from the repository. It opens from:

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  We recommend you always add a Description that explains the purpose of the item you are creating.

Expression

Enter a PhixFlow expression that evaluates to:

For emails generated by the completion of a task plan, you can specify the message level that causes the email to be sent. Use the internal variables _errors, _warnings, _messages and _suspended.
