Overview

Notification groups allow you to send alert notifications to multiple recipients, as long as you have their email address or mobile telephone number. To learn more about alerts, refer to Introduction to Alerts.

Note: To create and manage notification groups, you need admin rights for your Coram account. For support, contact your system administrator.
