Mail Notifications

In Screener, you receive a mail notification for every approval or rejection you perform for the entities (List, List Entries, UDAs, and Screener Groups). You receive notification for every list ingestion too.
Note: You need to set up a mail server in Management Console in order to receive the email alerts. For more information, see Configuring a Mail Server in the Administration Guide.
Notifications are based on the Approval Rule applied to the entities. Let us take example of an approval rule "Rule1" that applies to lists, where,
  • Two levels of approval are required
  • Level 1 approval is assigned to the Role 1
  • Level 2 approval is assigned to Role 2
  • Role 1 is mapped to user U1, U3, and U5
  • Role 2 is mapped to users U2, U4, and U6
Now, if a user, U7 creates a list and sends it out for review, it will go for Level 1 approval and notification will be sent to:
  • U7 (submitter of review)
  • U1, U3, and U5 (mapped to Role 1)
For list ingestion through file, all the users mapped to roles defined in this property of the fcc.properties file will be notified: fcc.spectrum.list.ingestion.email.roles.configurable
Table 1. This table describes the scenarios in which notifications are sent to users
Entities Actions that trigger notifications Approval rule applied? Notification sent to
List, ListEntry, UDA, and ScreenerGroup Submit for approval, Enable, Disable, Delete No Creator
Yes Notification sent to approver for action and to creator at each stage

For list ingestion, all users mapped to the role <ListIngestionNotifiers> get notifications for ingestion and any errors encountered in the process.
