Notifications

Some events should reach a person right away. A lab result that reads positive, or a new record arriving in the field season, is worth an email rather than a number someone notices later. CensusIO sends those emails for you.

There are two alerts:

  • Positive lab result. When a lab sample’s result reads as positive, CensusIO emails the people you choose.
  • New submission. When a new record is entered or collected, CensusIO emails the people you choose.

Each alert is its own rule. You turn it on, pick who gets the email, and CensusIO does the rest. If a rule is off, nothing is sent.

How a notification fires An event in CensusIO, a positive lab result or a new submission, is checked against the matching rule. If the rule is on, CensusIO emails the chosen roles and any extra addresses. If the rule is off, nothing is sent. Positive lab result New submission 1 Matching rule On? Who? Keywords? 2 Email sent to the chosen people 3 on Nothing sent off Owner, Admin, Member roles
An event is checked against its rule. If the rule is on, CensusIO emails the chosen people; if it is off, nothing is sent.
