I previously had a thread about notifications, but it seems to have disappeared from my topics. Does anyone know what might have happened?
@cetecerp25 any update?
This was about the quote and order notification feature right?
The one we split the cost for the additional work on quote notification?
I am wondering too.
Yes, that’s the one I was looking for.
I have sent a mail to regular support asking what is going on.

Hello @rcheremeh and @sisyfos
I took some time to search through the forum and unfortunately can’t find that thread either. I was on the team that approved the development, and I want to assure you nothing malicious or nefarious has happened here. That particular discussion was unusually long (honestly, one of the longest I’ve ever seen on the community site) so it’s possible the thread hit a length or time limit and was automatically removed by the system.
To your underlying point, the work you co-financed is very much active and accounted for. Our resource team does plan to build tutorials and supporting documentation around the new functionality. We just haven’t been able to push it to the top of the queue yet. Between the annual user conference next week and a few higher-priority content initiatives in progress, the team’s bandwidth is temporarily limited.
That said, we absolutely recognize the value of what was built and the need to make it easier for everyone to use. Once we’re past the current event cycle, we’ll regroup and move forward on producing clear documentation and training materials.
We appreciate your patience and continued partnership, and again, please rest assured that nothing has been lost or ignored.

we have two guy coming to the conference.
We just got a response and they are not sure what happened to it.
@cetecerp19 Any update on notification on the PQuote level?
Do you know when the PQuote Notification update will be ready to use?
@sisyfos Do you know when this update is coming out?
I have not heard anything!
Sorry.

@cetecerp19 Can we please get an update on the date that will be released?
Hello @rcheremeh
This will be released with 4-21. It will be apart of the new macro Object Notifier feature.
We are working on creating documentation with detailed instructions. Those resources will be released early next year.
If you’d like for me to walk you through how to use this at the PQuote or PO level, let me know. I would be happy to.

@cetecerp19 If this is on the beta i would like to try it out.
Walk me through it.
Also it looks like we are already on version 4.21
Sure, feel free to try it out on Beta.
Object Notifiers are the new way to handle email notifications in Cetec. Instead of being limited to a few hard-coded notifier types (like receipts), you can now create your own notification rules against supported business objects and define exactly when they should fire and who should get the email. This is the framework the new PQuote and PO notifiers live in, and it’s what we’ll be using going forward for anything custom.
To turn it on, enable the config setting enable_custom_notifier, then log out and back in. Once that’s done, you can manage notifier rules from Admin → Maintenance → Custom Notifier Rules. That page shows all notifier rules across the system, regardless of object type.
There’s also a newer, more contextual way to get to these now. From within an object record (like a PO or PQuote), go to Utilities and you’ll see Notifier Rules there. This view shows rules that apply specifically to that object as well as any global rules, and you can create new rules directly from this page too. Functionally it’s the same thing, just scoped to the object you’re looking at.
When you create a rule, you pick the object type, give it a name, and list the email recipients (comma-separated). From there, you define the logic using groups and conditions. Each group is either AND or OR. If it’s AND, every condition in that group has to be true for the notifier to fire. If it’s OR, any one condition will do it. You can stack multiple groups if you need more complex logic. The “Show Query” button will translate whatever you’ve built into the actual SQL Cetec is using under the hood, which is helpful for sanity-checking.
Most notifier conditions trigger when the object is updated. When a record changes, Cetec checks the new values against the rule, and if it matches, the email goes out. Date-based conditions are the exception. Those are evaluated daily instead of on update, so on dev you won’t see them fire unless you run the script that checks date rules.
When a rule triggers, Cetec sends an email using a single custom doc called “Custom Notifier.” Right now it’s shared across all object types and includes generic object info. If we ever want object-specific formatting, we can add conditional logic in the doc (e.g., “if object type is PO, show this”).
That’s the gist.
Here’s how I set up the PO Notifier for you to be set at the PQuote level. Feel free to copy and paste these conditions into your Beta.
@cetecerp19
I set the same notification rule.
I wanted to test this out to see how long it takes to receive the email. But I have not received any email yet.
