Create Community Based Events

SmarterTrack's event-driven architecture gives system administrators the ability to be notified when an event occurs in the system. For example, a manager can use the events system to automatically receive a notification when a Community thread needs to be moderated.

Most commonly, administrators and agents use this feature to receive an email notification when abuse has been reported in the Community. Although the steps below show you how to create the most commonly used Community event, the procedure is similar for the other Community events.
