Setting up e-mail notification parameters

Set up parameters to include in the body of the Messenger e-mail, e.g., a work order # %1[Work Order Number] was created on %2[Date Created] by %3[Entered by] for %4[Equipment Code/Name]. Create parameters for each of the data-specific items (items in brackets). The system retrieves the data based on the parameters and inserts it into the e-mail.

Parameters must also be set up in the template e-mail body. See Creating e-mail templates for Messenger.
