How to Add a Notification for a Search Type

2) In the Notifcation pop-up (the title for the pop-up might be labelled Trigger):

Click on the plus [+] button to create a new notification. This will open the trigger/notification UI.

Notifications and Triggers work together in many ways. A notification is defined as an Action. To send a notification, an event must occur.

In the Action drop down list Send a Notification must be selected.

Send a Notification - This action will send a notification. The action box will open additional options to insert a subject and message.
