### Prerequisites

<a id="prereq_N1003D_N1003A_N10001"></a>
Security: <i>Security Configuration</i> and <i>Set Up: Tenant Setup - BP and Notifications</i> domains in the System functional area.

### Context

<a id="context_N1004C_N1003A_N10001"></a>
You can send notifications as emails, mobile push notifications, tasks in My Tasks, and notifications on a worker's notifications page.

### Steps

1.  <a id="step_N10056_N10053_N1003A_N10001"></a>Access the <b>Edit Tenant Setup - Notifications</b> task.
2.  <a id="step_N10063_N10053_N1003A_N10001"></a>Under <b>Notification Delivery Settings</b>, select a <b>Parent Notification Type</b>.
3.  <a id="step_N10074_N10053_N1003A_N10001"></a>Select a <b>Notification Type</b>. Workday recommends that you select one of:

    -   <i>Active Candidates</i>
    -   <i>Learning Campaigns</i>
    -   <i>Recruiting Marketing</i>

4.  <a id="step_N1009C_N10053_N1003A_N10001"></a>Select the channels that Workday will use to send your notification. Select the <b>Override Notification Parent Type Settings</b> check box, and then select 1 or more <b>Default Notification Channels</b> from the prompt:

    -   <b>Apple Push Notification</b> to receive notifications to iPad and iPhone devices.
    -   <b>Google Cloud Messaging</b> to receive notifications on Android devices.
    -   <b>Immediate Email</b> to receive emails in an email client.

    <b>Note:</b> Workday always sends a notification to <b>My Tasks</b> unless you select the <b>Disabled</b> channel, which disables any notifications.



### Next Steps

<a id="postreq_N100DD_N1003A_N10001"></a>
To test that an email notification is being sent and received successfully, configure all email notifications to redirect to an email address.

1.  Access the <b>Edit Tenant Setup - Notifications</b> task.
2.  Under <b>General Email Notification Settings</b>, add a row to the grid, select <b>Redirect All Emails to Email Address</b>, and then enter an email address in the field.


To test that a mobile push notification is being sent and received successfully on a mobile device:

1.  Ensure you have the correct device:

    -   An Android device if <b>Google Cloud Messaging</b> was selected as a <b>Default Notification Channel</b>.
    -   An iPad or iPhone device if <b>Apple Push Notification</b> was selected as a <b>Default Notification Channel</b>.

2.  Configure the mobile device settings to enable push notifications.
3.  Download the Workday mobile app on the device.
4.  Enable notifications on the Workday mobile app.
