Approval email not showing up in activity log

hi,

I have a bunch of notifications targeting my custom table x_custom_task which extends the task table. I have notifications in place that trigger when the state of the request changes. I also have a notification in place for a request which requires manager approval, this is triggered when a database insert/update is made to the sysapproval_approver table. Although I am able to see all the notifications associated with my x_custom_task table, I am not able to view the manager approval notifications in the activity log. I am new to service now and any help highly appreciated!

Hi,
You see the approvals in the Approvals related list.
These notifications are attached to the actual approval record, not your "x_custom_task" table".

If you want an information to show up there I recommend to add a note (using a business rule for example) "manually".

Kind regards
