Manage User Notifications

Coveo Administration Console users can configure email notifications to be informed when certain operations occur in their organization. For example, you could subscribe to receive an alert when a source is in error, when a change is applied to your Coveo license, etc. These periodical customized reports should allow you to watch closely certain events, errors, or changes in your organization.

User notifications are deleted when their author is deleted from the organization. Hence, users wanting to receive notifications for their own use should create a user notification. Temporary users and administrators wanting to receive the notifications as JSON content or as a post to an endpoint should create an organization notification (see Manage Organization Notifications).
