Overview

Notifications allow Sawmills Agent results to be sent to the right person or team instead of staying only in the original conversation. Notifications are especially useful for scheduled work, summaries, and updates that need to reach other people.

Common Notification Uses

Use notifications when you want to:
  • send a result to yourself
  • share a summary with a team
  • deliver the output of a task
  • post an update into Slack

Supported Channels

Supported notification channels depend on your workspace configuration. Common examples include:
  • Slack direct messages
  • Slack channels
  • email summaries

Notifications with Tasks

Tasks and notifications are often used together. For example, a recurring task can generate a regular update and deliver it to the appropriate person or team.

Best Practices

  • send only the information people need
  • use short summaries for recurring updates
  • choose the destination that matches the audience
  • review the first few runs before relying on an automated workflow

Notes

Notification channels and destinations depend on your workspace configuration and enabled integrations.
