My Notification Does Not Work – Why?

You've created a notification in Plecto, but it doesn't seem to be working? Here are a few things you can check to find out what went wrong.

Make sure you have correctly set up the notification actions. Check if you're sending the notification to the correct destination slideshow.

If you can't see the notification in your Slack channel, make sure you've invited Plecto to the channel. To invite Plecto, type @plecto in the message field in Slack and hit Enter. Here's the article on how to send a Slack notification.

Make sure you have enabled the notification for the right team(s) or employee(s). If you have enabled the notification for a team, please make sure there are employees assigned to this team.

The Enabled from this date setting uses the default date field from your data source. The default date can be configured on integration data sources. In manual data sources, the default date is usually the Created date.

You can check the triggered notification log to verify if your notification has already been triggered.

1. Go to Gamification > Notifications and open a notification.
2. Click the Log of triggered notifications in the top-right corner.
3. If the notification triggered, you will see it in the log.
