Tab B – Recipients

Depending on the trigger type for your alert, the tabs displayed on the Mail Format tab will vary. For example, if you are sending a notification based on an item that is created, you will use the first tab to build your template. However, if you are configuring your notification based on a modification to an item, click the next tab “On Item Modification” and so forth. And it is possible that you are using a combination of options so you can set one message for creation and a different message for modifications. The choice is up to you.

Use the {itemlink} token to include hyperlink to the item that triggered the alert. If you are alerting on the files in a document library, you can also Include a link to the file that triggered the alert.

If your email supports HTML, you can add HTML tags to your message.
