*Schedule trade status changes—Agents and supervisors who are affected by schedule trade proposals or responses can receive these notifications.
*Time-off request status changes—Agents and supervisors who are affected by time-off requests can receive these notifications.

|structuredtext=By default, WFM does not send out notifications to agents and supervisors. There are a few things you need to do before WFM sends them.

For example, agents and supervisors who are to receive email notifications must have their email addresses configured. These email addresses are stored as part of the '''Person''' object in the Genesys Configuration Database and are synchronized into WFM automatically.

Supervisors must have the appropriate security rights to configure notifications. See {{Link-SomewhereInThisVersion|manual=Supervisor|topic=CfgtnRlP}} in the ''{{Link-SomewhereInThisVersion|manual=Supervisor|topic=Overview|display text=Workforce Management Web for Supervisors (Classic) Help}}''.

Additionally, WFM must be set up properly and connected to a customer-supplied SMTP server. For assistance with this configuration, contact your Genesys Professional Services representative. After you complete these steps and the {{Link-SomewhereInThisVersion|manual=Administrator|topic=EmailNotif|anchor=SetupEmailNotifications|display text=procedures below}}, WFM sends notifications of the selected type.

Finally, you must select at least one site to send notifications of a given type in the '''Associated Sites''' tab in Web for Supervisors Notifications view.
