One of the fields is Business Analyst (BA), with type user. Whenever that field is updated, they need the BA whose name is in the field to be notified. This would need two changes that I can see:   Allow notifications to be triggered when a custom field is changed (today, the list of triggering fields is limited to standard fields only).  Allow the recipients to be selected based on the content of the fields, rather than people in a specific role (or subscribed followers).

To notify based on a custom user field like Business Analyst, youll likely need a custom solution or plugin that listens for changes to that field and sends alerts accordingly. If your platform supports webhooks or API events for custom fields, that could be a good starting point. </description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:40:07 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2025-07-01T13:34:29-04:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/announcements/rants-raves/2986.aspx#reply7311</link></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">messageId=7313</guid><author>Webster Wolf (Kyleronsidine191@hotmail.com)</author><title> Is there a case where an error occurs during activation where the new user does not receive a notif</title><description> Is there a case where an error occurs during activation where the new user does not receive a notification? </description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2025 07:28:07 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2025-07-02T07:28:07-04:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/announcements/rants-raves/2986.aspx#reply7313</link></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">messageId=7315</guid><author>Victoria D (nino.diasamidze@inflectra.com)</author><title> Hello,  Can you please specify what activation you refer?
