  1. Business Request Events – There are four levels of the Business Request Events that can raise notifications:

    • Created – Occurs when a Business Request is created. This can be used to, for example, create a policy that sends an email notification to managers of users creating a Business Request.

    • Open – This is used in Approval Flow Policies with more than one Approval Flow Step to notify progressive approvers that the item is ready for them to review once a previous step has been approved by the person delegated for that step. If the previous step is rejected, then this notification would not be sent out.

    • Approver Set – Raised when someone manually assigns an approver to a step.

    • Commented – Raised when a comment is added to a request.

    • Fulfillment Ready and Fulfillment Completed – These are only available at the item level. They are relative to a specific item. These items have been approved, and now they are ready to be fulfilled. This creates a notification at that level. Once fulfilled, notification events are raised. You added someone to a group in response to a request, for example.

    • Completed – Completed can be used at the step level and the Business Request Level to send notifications that a particular step is completed and when the Business Request itself is completed.

    • Renotification- This event type is used for escalation policies for the "Notify" escalation action type to send reminders about open business request items that require attention. This only applies to Business Request Items and Business Request Item Approval Step request levels. The request levels are described below.
