- Preview the upcoming changes to the Notify action click here.
What Are We Trying to Accomplish?
The Notify Buyers action gives suppliers the ability to send messages directly to their customers through the SourceDay platform. This notification can be used to ask your buyer to take an action, ask a question, or provide information to your customer. This action can be performed on an individual order line or in bulk for up to 100 order lines at a time.
Once you send a notification to your customer using the Notify Buyers action, those orders will appear under your Awaiting Response tab until your buyer responds to your notification or takes an action.
The Notify Buyer action will not be an available option on any orders currently in a Pending or Completed status or on orders with a proposed Canceled status.
