How to trigger a Notification defined in Records -> Process
For Notification defined in Records -> Process, how could I trigger it to send out the notification?
E.g. could I trigger it by programming e.g. by an automation step, data transform, or activity?
(from some doc I learn that seems its trigger is configured in user profile but I still want to trigger it by programming)
Thanks.

@MaxonL16591286 for triggering notification rule, you can use pxNotify ootb activity. But you will have to create notification rule sourced with the users and you will pass that notification rule to this activity. You just need to call pxNotify, you don't have loop the data page. Notification rule will loop the data page and send notification, that's notification rule behavior.

The setting in user profile is notification preferences, which is been checked when we use notification rule for sending notifications.

@MaxonL16591286 data page is OOTB one, activity you need to write your own(in the activity you will be just looping the dpage and sending email using ootb activity.

If so, I do not make use of the Notification rule defined in Records -> Process.
Wonder I can trigger the Notification rule directly?
