Alert records allow you to create notifications to appear in CRM and/or the Portal. They can be created and displayed for any entity, ordered based on priority, and utilize queries to make sure alerts appear on the correct records. Alerts appear at the top of the record page in CRM and the top of the home page on the portal. Alerts can also be embedded as web elements.
