Notifications let you know when something has happened in your account. Have you ever wanted to know when a file was uploaded or downloaded from a folder? If that answer is yes, then you need to know about notifications.

A notification consists of action (upload and/or download) by a targeted user within a folder. When one of the targeted users performs one of the targeted actions on that folder, you'll get an email.

• Events are constantly scanned so the email will be sent out in nearly real-time.
• Notifications cover any targeted event within that folder.
  For example, if you have a folder tree with an 'upload' notification for all users set on the root folder (clients):
  
  Clients/
  ├── Client-A/
  └── Client-B/
           └── Invoices/
                     ├── 2011/
                     └── 2012/
  
  If someone connects and uploads a file into /Clients/Client-B/Invoices/2011/, then you will get an email.

• Folder notifications cover connections via SWFT, FTP, SFTP, and FTP-SSL.
• Notifications for shared folders and sent files can be setup as needed too.

To setup a notification on a folder:

1. Browse to the File Manager page in SWFT
2. Click the 'Actions' menu for a folder you want to be notified about and select 'Add Notification'

Whenever anyone transfers any file in your folder (uploading, downloading or deleting), you will receive a notification email. If you want to change this behavior, simply click the notification bell icon to access the Edit Notification popup.

Editing a notification is as easy as setting one up:

1. Click the Actions menu for the notification target folder and select 'Edit Notification'
2. In the pop-up window, select:
   • The action (upload, download, delete or both).
   • The users (all users or pick from a list).
   • If you'd like another person to receive a copy of your notification, enter their email address in the field labeled Also CC this email address
3. Click the 'Done' button.
