Trigger Logs

Ambition's Trigger Log allows Manager & Admin users to view the notifications that were sent for each specific Trigger. This can be extremely helpful when troubleshooting Trigger configurations. If you missed a Trigger or if you're not certain that it was actually sent, the Trigger Logs will provide a full list showing what, where, and when each notification was sent.

Through the Trigger Logs, users can view historical notifications for each Trigger. This can be done by searching for an individual Trigger or by searching across all Triggers.
