Event notifications in Humanforce HR help you keep the right people informed when important events occur, like personal detail updates, onboarding completions, or upcoming job anniversaries.
Notifications can appear in-platform via the bell icon, be sent as immediate emails, or summarised in daily email digests. They ensure changes in the system are surfaced to the people who need to take action—supervisors, HR, payroll, and others.
To see event notifications in action, check out Create and configure event notifications in Humanforce HR.
