Content configuration

By the APPS 365 team · Updated

Content configuration decides what an Alerts Fusion alert shows and how big it is. You can pull content from a page, a SharePoint list, your own HTML or rich text.

When the content comes from a list item, the alert can follow the dates stored on that item, so you do not have to set an automatic open schedule by hand.
