Common Errors

Incorrect or missing Notification Type Name

If the Notification Type Name does not exist under Administration > Notification > Notification Types and is case sensitive. If the Notification Type Name is incorrect or missing, then the step will throw the following exception. This can be resolved by ensuring the Notification Type Name exists and that the casing matches.

Exception Message:
