Set up  the "Approvals - Process Subscription" Scheduler Task

Go to the Scheduler Tab, and verify that the "Approvals - Process Subscription" task has been created, is enabled, and is running at short, regular intervals appropriate to the needs of the users receiving the emails (recommended to run every 5 minutes). 

If the task does not yet exist:

From the Scheduler Tab, click "Add Task"

Enter a Name for the task (including a reference to "Approvals Notifications" is recommended for clarity), select the task as "Approvals - Process Subscription", and enter an End date - or leave blank to run as a 'forever' task.

For Repeat Settings, select how often you'd like the scheduler to check for new approvals changes and send the notification emails - every 5 or 10 minutes is recommended.

Select your time interval and click "Add". Each instance of the selected time increment will display under "Repeat Settings for this task. 

Review the list (deleting individual instances if desired), and click "Save Task" when done.

The Approvals Email Notification task is now set up, active, and ready to process Approvals Event changes. 

For additional information on working with the Scheduler, see Scheduler documentation.

Enable Notifications

Once the Scheduler task is verified created and active, notifications must be enabled for the desired Groups / Actions for the status changes to be emailed to the appropriate Groups.

From the Approvals → Permission Groups → Groups tab, Click on the Group name that you wish to enable/disable notifications for.

In the Group Details page, click the checkbox under "Enable Notifications" to enable / disable status change notifications for the Group for the selected Family/Action types.
