Hi @ShaziyaS4380655 

 

To prevent an out-of-the-box (OOTB) notification from sending when certain criteria are met and send a custom one instead, the best practice is to set a higher "Weight" on your custom notification. This causes the platform to process your notification first and, if a notification is successfully sent, ignore any other notifications with a lower weight that match the same conditions.

Hi @ShaziyaS4380655 ,

 

Did you checked the article which I mentioned? It clearly explains possible scenarios.

 

If the outbound emails HAVE EXACTLY SAME 'Recipient' , 'Target', and Conditions only the one with highest weight is sent plus any one with weight=0.
The rest of the emails are marked as 'State'="Ignored"

 

If your custom notification deviates from above rule then OOTB notification will be sent as well. So In this case you will need to deactivate OOTB notification.

not possible

-> either update the OOTB notification

OR
-> create your own notification and deactivate the OOTB one

if we change weight too that doesn't stop OOTB from sending notifications ryt
