This topic provides information on most of the Skillport events that can trigger notification emails. All of the events discussed here are shown on the Notification Management page.
The recipients of an email are determined by the variables specified in the recipient fields (the To, Cc, and Bcc fields) in the assigned template. For information on the available variables for each template, see Variables.
Note: There are also a few emails that are not available on the Notification Management page because you cannot customize their contents; for information on these, see Non-Customizable Emails.
