Record Sharing Notifications

When a record is shared with another tenant, the recipient tenant's relevant users should be notified — both at the moment of sharing and when subsequent changes happen. ActiveManage provides several notification channels for this.

Email notification showing 'A new record has been shared with you' header, source tenant name and avatar, record title, share permission level, and 'View record' button

Notification Types

  • Initial share: Sent when the share is first created.
  • Permission change: When read-only is upgraded to read-write, or vice versa.
  • Record changes: When the source tenant edits the record (configurable: every change, daily digest, none).
  • Share revoked: When the source tenant ends the share.
  • Expiry approaching: 7 days before automatic expiry, optionally also at 1 day.

Delivery Channels

  • Email: Default — actionable summary with a link.
  • In-app banner: Notification bell badge.
  • Push notification: Mobile-friendly summary.
  • Webhook: Programmatic notification for integrations.

Configuring

  1. Open Site Settings → Multi-tenancy → Record Sharing → Notifications.
  2. For each notification type, tick which channels deliver.
  3. Customise the email templates if needed (template names: share_initial, share_permission_changed, etc.).
  4. Set who in the recipient tenant gets notified — all users, admins only, or a specific group.

Worked Examples

  • Marketplace: Initial-share notification by email; record-change notifications batched into a daily digest to avoid notification fatigue.
  • Consulting platform: Initial share + every change by email and push, because timing is critical to project work.
  • API-driven integration: Webhook only — the partner system handles routing internally.
