How to notify multiple administrators of a change request in Mavim

This article explains how to automatically notify or assign tasks to multiple administrators or users in Mavim when a change request (e.g., an Improvement proposal) is created, since only one person can be designated as the Portal owner.

In Mavim, a Portal can have multiple administrators, but only one email address can be assigned as the Portal owner. If you want all administrators (or a group of users) to receive a change request automatically, you can achieve this using a Flow.

Two options are available:

  1. Create follow-up tasks for multiple people.

  2. Send an email notification to multiple people.


Option 1: Create follow-up tasks for a group

If you want several users to actively respond to a change request, you can assign them each a follow-up task.

Example setup:

When users with role CONTRIBUTOR submit form IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL on ANY TOPIC do create FOLLOW-UP TASK from group ROBIN DEMO to give feedback on THE INPUT TOPIC. Use motivation "....", due date in 7 day(s) and requested by Jan

  • Trigger: When users with the role Contributor submit the form Improvement proposal on any topic.

  • Action: Create a follow-up task for users in the group Robin demo to provide feedback on the input topic.

  • Motivation: “Please review and provide input.”

  • Due date: 7 days from the request date.

  • Requested by: Jan.

In this example, all 6 members of the Robin demo group receive their own task. Each user can complete their assigned task individually.


Option 2: Send an email notification to a group

If you prefer to simply inform multiple administrators rather than assign tasks, you can send an email to all members of a group.

Example setup:

When users with role CONTRIBUTOR submit form IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL on ANY TOPIC do send mail to users from group ROBIN DEMO with subject "....", and body "....".

  • Trigger: When users with the role Contributor submit the form Improvement proposal on any topic.

  • Action: Send an email to users from the group Robin demo.

  • Subject: “New improvement proposal submitted.”

  • Body: Include relevant details such as topic, submitter, and a link to the item.

All 6 members of the Robin demo group receive the email. They can then review the feedback in the Input section of the Portal and directly update the status using a label. This helps avoid duplicate follow-ups, since everyone can see when a response has already been provided.


Notes and prerequisites

  • Only one Portal owner can be set in Mavim.

  • Flows must be configured with appropriate triggers and actions.

  • Group email notifications depend on the membership setup in Mavim.

  • Administrator access is required to create or edit flows.
