Notification option to let assignees know they can start working a task!

What do we need:

Create or update a user notification option that lets assignee(s) know when a task can start work!  (Can Start = True = Notification)

There is currently not an option for users or admins to enable a notification to be sent to a user or team that is assigned to a task that lets them know that they can start working on a task; a trigger once the Can Start indicator on a task moves to True.   Users do not receive notifications that let them simply know they can start working on their task.  

 

What’s available today in user notifications?   

There is an option for “All predecessors of my tasks are completed” located in the Information about Work Assigned to Me section, but this does not always work and is not always accurate.  This runs simply off directly associated predecessors on a task.  If you manage predecessors at a parent task level, notification will not be sent to your users and affect your teams performance (e.g. Process B (parent task with multiple children tasks) cannot start until Process A is complete).  This notification will trigger only if you have a predecessor assigned to a specific task and does not account for predecessor relationships managed through a parent.

 

Scenario 1 - No Notifications Sent

Scenario 2 - Notifications Sent but not accurate!

In an ideal world, the notification template would also be customizable in some way to call out details that are important to an organization (e.g. Header, body, etc).    At the very least, looking for some option to simply receive any notification that lets users know that their tasks are ready to start!   (Explored fusion as well, but no canStart watch events available to create custom notifications).
