+# NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
+
+AyaNova has a built in notification system that alerts users to events of interest that occur in AyaNova.
+
+
+## Types of notifications
+AyaNova has a default in application "General" type notification (used for internal system alerts and direct notification messages between users) to which all users are automtically subscribed by default.
+(Users can also optionally add email delivery for General notifications)
+
+Beyond General notifications, Users can [optionally subscribe](form-home-notify-subscriptions.md) to dozens of other types of built in notifications for specific events such as a particular type of object being created or a Work order status changing. 
+
+## Notification delivery methods
+There are two methods of delivering notifications:
+* In the AyaNova application in the [Notifications](form-home-notifications.md) form
+* Email via SMTP server which includes delivery to regular email programs as well as to devices via [SMS / MMS gateways](https://www.wikihow.com/Send-a-Text-from-Email) provided by Cellular providers.
+
+## Email delivery configuration
+The in application delivery does not require any configuration however the SMTP delivery is required to be set up in the [Ops Notification settings](form-ops-notification-settings.md) form.
+
+## Operations specific notification events
+Operations users should subscribe to several key notifications related directly to system operations:
+* NotifyHealthCheck - a recurring daily notification system "ping" sent out between 8am and 10am once every 24 hours minimum every day which is a verification that the notification system is up and running
+* BackupStatus - results of last backup operation 
+* ServerOperationsProblem - sent whenever the server encounters any unusual condition or error that could be critical for the continuing operation of the AyaNova server
+
+These are in addition to the normal operations methods of monitoring the health and status of the server such as [server logs](form-ops-logs.md), [metrics](form-ops-metrics.md), [job queue](form-ops-jobs.md) etc.
