Location Settings - Notification Service Config |
Scroll |
Use the Notification Service Config screen in the Settings section of a location to add, edit, or delete e-mail notification records for use by Parcel.
Notifications are e-mails that are automatically sent when a certain event occurs in Parcel such as the closing of a certain carrier or the uploading of a certain carrier's manifest.
This screen is meant to configure notifications in response to system-level events as opposed to shipment-level events. If you want to send an e-mail to the recipient of a shipment to notify them of when the shipment is sent, delivered, or delayed, you would do that while processing the shipment in Parcel.
