Alert Functionality
Alert Functionality
1. Sends an email to your customer's Help Desk contact showing the status of all open calls and also includes all calls closed since the last time the report ran.
2. We will set this alert up in test mode first as it is a customer facing alert for you. While in test mode, alert will only send to any email(s) listed in the TO/CC/BCC of your alert subscription. You can safely enter the actual Help Desk contact in the Custom Property field of the customer record since the alert is not wired to consider those emails while in test mode.
Once you've reviewed sample emails and feel comfortable with the alert's functionality, then you can let us know at help@ceojuice.com that you're ready to go live.
3. Alert looks to Custom Property on Customer record to determine how often to send. Use ZCJ873SummaryFreq to set frequency of Weekdays, Mondays, 1st and 15th of Month, or Monthly:
4. Sends an email to the contact listed in the Custom Property ZCJ873SummaryRecip on the Customer record. Contact must have a valid email address on their contact record:
5. Looks to Bill To Customer on the service call, so Custom Properties need only be set at the Bill To Customer level if using best practice of setting up Parent/Child relationships in eAutomate. More on this best practice here.
6. Must have both Custom Properties populated with a value on the Customer record or alert will not send a notification to your customer.
7. Alert considers ALL Call Types, not only those of Corrective Maintenance and Preventative Maintenance Call Type Code.
Call Type Codes can be found in Lists & Codes under Call Types:
Multiple Contacts:
Multiple Contacts:
As of version 20180608: If you need this alert to go to more than one fixed email address, you can add additional emails in the Other emails section of the Contact Record set in the custom property to receive the alert. If you have multiple emails listed in the Other emails field, please separate them with a semi-colon. **You MUST be on the current version of the alert to have this functionality work. See below on how to check your version and email us at help@ceojuice.com to get updated.

Best Practices & Tips
Best Practices & Tips
1. If you are running ID54 and want ID873 to send to the same contact, be sure to add that same contact to the Custom Property ZCJ873SummaryRecip. You can also send ID873 to a different contact if needed.
Send From Email Settings
Consider the FROM email on your alert subscription since this will be sending to your Customers. We suggest using an email like service@ or dispatch@ so that should your customer reply on the the email, your staff will receive and can respond accordingly. You can change on subscription, BUT FIRST check with your IT Department to ensure ceojuice user has permissions to "send as" (not on behalf of) the email address listed here on your subscription (otherwise emails won't actually get to your customers and we have no way of knowing that is happening). Then let us know so we can test to make sure.
