# Participant Risk Added Notification

Source: https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/notifications/participant-risk-added-notification

> Notify your team the moment a new risk is added to a Participant profile, with no manual follow-up.

Astalty Premium - This feature is part of the Astalty Premium plan. See What Premium includes.

Create a **Participant Risk Added Notification** to alert selected people as soon as a new Risk is added to a Participant's profile.

To manage Participant Risk Added Notifications, head to the [Notifications](https://app.astalty.com.au/notifications) page in the main menu, find the **Participants** group and select [Participant Risk Added](https://app.astalty.com.au/notifications/participant-risk-added).

Only Admins can manage these notifications. This can't be changed per user.

## Creating a Participant Risk Added Notification

Click **Create Notification**. A new notification starts with **Primary Coordinator**, **Service Coordinator**, **Within Astalty** and **Email** all ticked.

### Notification Email Content

Optional. Add your own instructions to the email, such as what your organisation does when a new Participant risk is identified and the next steps. This content appears in the email only, not in the in-app notification.

### Notification Recipients

Select at least one recipient.

#### Primary Coordinator

Select this option to notify the Participant's assigned Primary Coordinator.

#### Service Coordinator

Select this option to notify the Service Coordinator of each Service on the Participant's current plan.

#### User Groups

Select one or more [User Groups](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/settings/users-settings/user-groups). **Support Worker** and **All Users** are not available here. **Team Member** includes only people with the Team Member role, so also select **Admin** and **Manager** if they should receive the alert.

#### Users

Select individual users who should receive the notification.

## Finalising Your Notification

Select **Add Notification** to save it.

Each saved notification is listed with its **Delivery** methods and **Recipients**. Click a row, or use its actions menu, to **Edit** it. The actions menu also has **Clone**, to start a new notification from an existing one, and **Delete**.

## What Happens After Setup

Once saved, the notification runs automatically. Each time a new risk is added to a Participant, Astalty sends the alert to the matching recipients straight away. Risks added for your organisation rather than a Participant don't trigger it.

The email subject is **New Risk Added:** followed by the risk title. The email names the risk and the Participant, includes your custom content, and has a **View Risk** button. The in-app notification is titled **New Risk Added** and links to the Participant's risks.
