Notification placeholders

You can create notifications for different notifiable events at the site level, and configure notifications for individual instances.
You can add content in multiple languages within a single notification if required.
When adding content to your notifications you can also use placeholders to automatically add information to each notification. For example, you could add the Certification full name placeholder to one of your certification notifications at the site level - whenever this notification is sent out, it would then include the full name of the certification.
Shared placeholders
There are some user fields that are shared across all notification types. These user fields are repeated for the notification recipient, the subject of the notification, and any managers associated with the notification subject.
