Create a Notification Block

Notification blocks allow you to send notifications to users via email, incorporating data received from the previous block into the notification.

The Notification block can send data as a consolidated email or as individual emails for each row in the data result set.

How to create a Notification Block?

  • Hover on the Workbook icon on the left navigation bar, it will display the folder-wise view of the existing workbook in the tenant (previously known as cluster).


  • To create a new workbook, click the plus icon at the top right corner of the Workbook list page or click the find icon on the navigation bar.


  • Click the plus icon on the workbook page and select Notification Block from the list, the following screen will be displayed.

  1. Notification in a consolidated email
    1. To send a consolidated email, select the checkbox Send consolidated mail for all rows and columns.
    2. You can choose to send all rows or limit it to the Top N rows.
    3. You can choose to send all columns or selected columns.
    4. The selected result set is sent as an attachment in a single email.
    5. This option is ideal for bulk reporting.
