email notification

[ketfos]

Hi
We are able to send email to each user specified in the notification activity stage.

But when I use the distribution list in the notification activity stage, the users in the list do not get email.

Is there some other way to use notification stage for emails/

Thanks

You can still achieve this. Specify an email address (ketfos@yourcmpy.com) in the notification stage and set up a rule in your mail box which will forward the email to the DL.

You need to talk to whomever setup the distribution list and ensure it has an externally accessable email address, sometimes they are just setup as internal groups.
