Okie, couple of questions and a comment. Can anyone create alerts, or only specific licenses can do so? If it's the latter, does RLS apply when someone subscribes to my alert? And on a final point, I think it would've been nice if you showed how the alert looks like in the email. Thanjs
Hey! :) In general, users should have a Creator or Explorer license while Viewers can receive alerts but can't create them. Alerts are based on the data in the view, and data they're authorised to view (with their RLS restrictions). So if I create an alert for "Sales > $5000" and I only have permission to view East Region sales, the alert will only trigger for a Sale exceeding $5000 in the East Region. And yes - that would have been a good addition! Thanks for the feedback!
