Automation Processing Options

The Notifications are sent based on their respective service schedule. These services are pre-configured with default values; however, the schedule can be modified.

By default, the services are configured as follows:

  • Start Date: Database start date
  • Start Time: 01:00
  • Time Zone: (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (USA and Canada)
  • Process Every: 1 Day

You can modify the processing frequency and time based on your organization's needs.

This article details how to modify the Automation Processing Options.
