New to Business Rules - Notification if Edit is made to a Project

Question

I’m curious if we can create a Business Rule that if anyone “Edits a custom form” on a Project that a notification goes out.  If that’s possible, how would I write that?

Hi ​@JulieUn2,Unfortunately, Business Rules cannot send notifications asthey are designed to validate and restrict actions (block edits, show error messages, enforce required fields), but they do not have the ability to trigger outbound notifications to users.If you’vefusion, you can build a scenario using the Watch Events module triggered on a project field change, then send an email or in-app notification to whoever needs to know. This gives you full control over who gets notified and what the message says.

Directly quoting from the business rules docs on

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/administration-and-setup/set-up-wf/configure-system-defaults/business-rules

“

A business rule allows you to apply validation to Workfront objects and prevent users from creating, editing, or deleting an object when certain conditions are met. Business rule validation helps to improve data quality and operational efficiency by preventing actions that could compromise data integrity.

Organizations that have the Workflow Ultimate package can also configure business rules to automate actions for the created, edited, or modified object when certain conditions are met. Available actions include sharing the object or attaching a custom form to the object.
