Configuring Notification Nodes in Workflow Automation
The Notification node allows you to send alerts to users through multiple communication channels, including AWS SES, MS Teams, Slack, Jira, and Google Chat. This helps keep stakeholders informed of important workflow updates or any required actions.
Example Use Case
