How to Create a Notification Alert

Learn how to create a notification alert in Praxsuite step by step. This guide explains how to open Notifications, create a rule, choose an event topic, assign recipients, and automatically notify users about workspace activity.

Notification alerts in Praxsuite allow you to define workspace rules so selected users are notified when specific events happen.

This is useful when you want people to be informed automatically about activity such as row changes, table changes, form events, status updates, or user activity.

This guide explains how to create a notification rule step by step.

Step 1: Open the app launcher

From the main Workspace view, click the grid icon near the top-left area of the screen.

This opens the app launcher, where you can access different workspace tools such as:

• API Gateway

• Vault

• Notifications

• Settings

• Documentation

Step 2: Open Notifications

Inside the app launcher, click Notifications.

This takes you to the Notifications area of Praxsuite.

Here, you will find two main sections:

• Inbox

• Rules

To create an alert, go to Rules.

Step 3: Open the Rules tab

Inside Notifications, click Rules.

This section is where Praxsuite lets you define notification rules, meaning when notifications should be triggered and who should receive them.

If no rules have been created yet, the page will show an empty state with options such as:

• Create first rule

• New rule

Step 4: Click New rule

Click New rule.

This opens the New notification rule window.

Here is where you configure the alert rule.

Step 5: Enter the rule name

In the Rule name field, type the name of your notification rule.

The name should describe what the alert is meant to monitor.

Examples:

• Alert me when a row is created

• Notify team when a form is submitted

• Table update alert

• Status change notification

This makes it easier to identify the rule later.

Step 6: Select the event topic

In the Event topic field, choose the event that should trigger the notification.

The available options are:

• Column Created

• Column Deleted

• Column Updated

• Form Submitted

• Form Viewed

• Row Created

• Row Deleted

• Row Updated

• Status Changed

• Status Set To

• Table Created

• Table Deleted

• User Logged In

Each event topic defines the type of activity Praxsuite will watch.

Step 7: Select a specific table if needed

Some event types allow you to narrow the rule to a specific table.

In the Specific table (optional) field, you can choose:

• a specific table

• or leave it as Any table

If you leave it as Any table, the rule can trigger across all tables in the workspace that match the selected event type.

Use a specific table when the alert should apply only to one operational area.

Step 8: Add recipients

In the Recipients section, choose which user should receive the notification.

Use the recipient selector to pick a user, then click Add.

You can repeat this process to add more recipients if needed.

This allows the rule to notify the right people automatically when the event occurs.

Here, you can also select which way you will recieve notifications, by Email or In-App.

Step 9: Create the rule

Once the rule name, event topic, optional table filter, and recipients are ready, click Create rule.

Praxsuite will save the notification rule and add it to the Rules section.

From that point on, the workspace will monitor the selected event and notify the configured recipients when the rule conditions are met.

Key things to remember

• Notification alerts are created from Notifications > Rules

Each rule needs:

• a Rule name

• an Event topic

• at least one recipient

• Some rules can also be limited to a specific table

• The Inbox is where users review triggered notifications

• Notification rules help teams stay informed automatically about workspace activity
