How to modify an Alert notification

Geraldine Gray

Hi there

I have created an alert in my job sheet that sends an email to Managers when a job is finished. As the row is very long, the message squashes into one long thread in email. Is there a way we can alert specific columns within the row so that the notification is more readable?

Much appreciated

Hi @Geraldine Gray

You can either change the alert to include specific column or use the placeholder feature.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
