For an overview of AutoTasks and their syntax, see AutoTasks
An Autotask can be configured to send a notification email once its match criteria are met. This is achieved by the use of the notifications component. In the example below, when an asset is uploaded into NetX, a notification email using the email template assetImportReport.tpl will be sent to the email address associated with all of the users included in the group named Import admins.
<task name="Notification on import">
<matchCriteria type="and">
<criteria type="action" value="import"/>
</matchCriteria>
<notifications>
<notify emailTemplate="assetImportReport.tpl" groupName="Import admins" type="email"/>
</notifications>
</task>Only one recipient parameter can be used per AutoTask when adding a notification component, e.g. you may use address or groupName or user, but cannot combine any of these parameters with the other two.
The notification type is always email. The following parameters specify both the email's recipient(s) as well as the email template sent to any recipients. Both a recipient and an email template parameter are required.
