Timely communication is essential for effective CRM adoption and user engagement. To improve visibility of key CRM activities, we implemented an automated email notification solution in Sage CRM using a combination of SQL Triggers and Sage CRM Escalation Rules and view.
This approach ensures that users receive relevant notifications whenever important events occur, helping teams stay informed and respond promptly to business activities.
One of our client came up with the requirement that, they want the email notification when new company is created or changed the Account manager and when new communication task or appointment is assigned or change the user of communication.

The following email notifications implemented in Sage CRM.
| Event | Notification Recipient |
| Task assigned / reassigned to a user | Assigned user |
| Appointment assigned / reassigned to a user | Assigned user |
| Company created | All CRM users |
| Company assigned or re-assigned | All CRM users |
Without automation, these activities could easily be overlooked, leading to delays, missed follow-ups, and reduced collaboration. To address this requirement, we leveraged the strengths of both SQL Server and Sage CRM.
