Flagging Invalid Email Notifications

Overview

When you are experiencing issues with the notifications (I.E. an email notification does not look correct or you are receiving lots of notifications) Playbooks offers the option to flag it to improve your email notification experience. Over time, Playbooks will learn your preferences and provide you with optimal alerts.

 

Information

An email notification can be triggered incorrectly. For instance, certain email filters or virus protections within the client’s email may scan all the links within the email to verify their safety. The scan tricks Playbooks into thinking the recipient clicked each link resulting in multiple invalid email notifications.

You can either flag invalid notifications through Microsoft Outlook, or directly in Playbooks.

Once you report (flag) the notification, our engineering department will be able to see the flagged item on a list with all the aspects related to it, which will help them in the troubleshooting and resolution phases.

Usually, this behavior is associated with errors in the backend cookies. When the customers use the flagging system to mark an invalid notification, these flagged notifications are added to a table in the database that can be accessed and modified through API calls using Postman.
