Sending a Notification to a Dynamic List of Users
I have a master table "Projects" and a child table "Discussion Board" which includes fields for a title, description, status (open/closed), and due date. I am going to create another child table for Discussion Board titled comments.
The intent is that someone can post a topic in the discussion board about a project so that the project team gets an alert. We can continue to leave it open until everything is resolved by our team and it is marked closed.
Everytime a comment is posted or a new discussion board is created I want to alert the entire project team. This could be 2 people, this could be 7 people and it changes for each project.
The parent Projects Table already has a field for "Internal Email List" which is taking the users assigned to the project and combining via a text field with the email addresses. But I cannot reference that in the child record.... My thought was to use an automation to copy that over to a field in the child table... But I cannot use that in the built in notification system.
So I am a bit stumped on how to do this....
