Overview
When the "Avoid aggressive notifications" setting is turned ON, we allow ConnectWise to decide whether or not to send an email notification for each change made to a ticket or ticket note.
This means that if a change to a ticket is made directly through ConnectWise, ConnectWise will, as usual, follow its own rules and settings to determine whether or not to send an email notification. Likewise, if a change is made through DeskDirector, we will also defer to ConnectWise's rules and settings to determine whether or not to send an email notification.
Where to turn on `Avoid Aggressive Notifications`
- Login to your Desk Director Admin Portal
- Navigate to System > Feature Configuration > Tickets > Email Behaviour

With Avoid Aggressive Notifications On
- If a change is made through DeskDirector, we will defer to ConnectWise's rules and settings to determine whether or not ConnectWise will send an email notification.
- Your DeskDirector Tech portal will not have the `Send To` options under `Add Time Entry`

With Avoid Aggressive Notifications Off
- If a change is made to a ticket through Desk Director, an email notification will always be sent to the selected `Send To` receiver (Outlined below), regardless of whether or not ConnectWise would normally send an email notification based on its own rules and settings.
- Your DeskDirector Tech portal will have the `Send To` options under `Add Time Entry`
- DeskDirector will force email notifications from ConnectWise to all of the selected `Send To` options
