Alert When Transaction Amount Is Greater than Specified Amount

Use this event handler to automatically notify mobile users when the amount of a transaction for a specified account is greater than a specified amount. To receive this notification, users must be subscribed to the TransactionAmountAlert publication, specifying the account to watch and the amount that triggers the alert. The notification will be an external email and a message sent to the SyteLine Inbox form.

Users should schedule this event to run before they post journals. For example, if they normally post journals to the ledger on Fridays, they could schedule the alert checking logic to fire Thursday night. If the users instead decided to have the alert checking run every day, they could receive an alert every day for the same transaction amounts, until the journals are posted at the end of the week. So they might receive five e-mails, one per day, for the same high transaction that was created on Monday.

This is the text of the notification that is sent:
