Checked wit hAD he is present in it,checked in the grp he is present.

What can be the reason?

Let's start again from the beginning I'll be a little bit verbose as you need to check the whole thing



Feel free to post screenshots for the different setup point and for the test scenario, if the test scenario is adapted to your case, modify it so it's adapted to your case



Setup:


1) One group with 3 users


==> Users are active


==> Users have "Notification" enable (on the profile)


==> Users have "Notification Preferences" active (at least for the given notification)


==> The group is setup so the emails are sent to the members of the groups and not to a "group email address" where the 3rd person would be missing



2) Notifications


==> Notifications is setup so no condition is preventing the email to be sent to the 3rd person


==> Is the notification sent to the event creator?


==> What is the weight of the notification? (empty, 0 or another number)



Test scenario:


1) Modify the incident to meet the conditions


2) Check on event logs that the "incident.update" event is triggered (it should)


3) Check that the email is created and sent (sys_email)


4) What is the recipient list? 2 users or 3 users?

Hi Shristy,



Go to the System Mailbox menu and check your Outbox and Sent modules to see if there is any indication there what happened. If it is in the sent list, that means ServiceNow sent it and is not at fault.



It could be as simple as the user has Notifications Disabled in their profile.



There is a troubleshooting video in this list that may help

If I have to make a guess, I would say "notification preferences", I had colleagues who had the same issue few weeks ago, everyone check the "Notification" field on the user profile but forgot to check the Notification Preferences

If all notifications are enabled, also check on the user profile. The user must have a valid email address and must also have the Notification field set to Enable. If it is set to Disable, no notifications would be sent.
