ahoy @ShariqhM,

 

under the Send when - it is either fired by event or with conditions that you build after changing that field:

 

In your screenshot, here:

EDIT: the condition is below the marked field, just add the field and assign values

In simple terms:

1. Record Inserted or Updated

Use when a record changes.

  • A new record is created → send a notification.
  • An existing record is updated → send a notification.

Example:
When an Incident is created, email the Service Desk.

2. Event is Fired

Use when a script or process tells ServiceNow to send a notification.

  • A Business Rule, Scheduled Job, or script creates an event.
  • The notification listens for that event.

Example:
A scheduled job checks contracts every day and fires an event when a contract is 7 days from expiring.

3. Triggered

Use when Flow Designer controls the notification.

  • A flow reaches a step that sends an email.
  • Everything is managed inside the flow.

Example:
An approval flow sends an email to a manager for approval.

For Who will receive tab:

 

1.Users

You manually choose specific people.

2.Groups

You choose a group.

Example: Send the email to the Service Desk group.

 Everyone in that group gets the email.

3.Users/Groups in Fields

ServiceNow looks at the record and finds the recipient.

 

4.Send to Event Creator

Controls whether the person who caused the notification gets the email.

Example:

  • Bob updates an incident.
  • Notification is triggered.
  • Checked → Bob gets the email.

    5.Event Parm 1 / Event Parm 2

    Used with Event is Fired notifications.

    A script tells ServiceNow who should get the email.
