This page describes how to use Alerts management features in Axiodis and corresponding key points.
Goals
Alerts management allows the system to define and send alerts (e-mail alerts, SMS, ...) to inform and prevent final users and / or customers about execution of different events and process which could require a specific monitoring as for instance :
- Sending an alert for the final customer to confirm the order integration in Axiodis
- Sending an alert for the final customer to confirm the planned date / time of a delivery
- Sending an alert for the final customer to confirm the date / time of approach of a delivery
- Sending an alert for the final customer to confirm the real date / time of a delivery
- Sending an alert about a status update for an order
- ...
Sending SMS alerts needs to have dedicated API with a phone operator.
