Notifications

Details of which notifications are sent and when.

As orders and tests transition through various states, Hurdle can send notifications to the end customer to keep them updated with what's happening. Here is the list of notifications that can be sent (by default, all emails are enabled):

Customising notifications

You can customise which notifications are sent. Emails are sent by default, but you might want to receive webhooks from us in order to send your own emails, in which case, we can disable all our emails. It can be more granular, for example, you could decide to get both webhooks and email for one event, and nothing for another.

To proceed with the customisation of notifications, please reach out to your account manager.
