What is the purpose of using "Notifications" in conjunction with the "Alerts" feature?

Using "Notifications" in conjunction with the "Alerts" feature in Smartsheet primarily serves the purpose of keeping users updated on changes. Notifications are designed to inform users about specific events or updates that occur within a sheet, such as changes made to rows, comments added, or attachments uploaded. When alerts are triggered by particular conditions—like a change in status or a date approaching—notifications ensure that users are promptly informed of these changes, allowing them to respond or take action as necessary.

This integration enhances collaboration by ensuring that all relevant team members are aware of current information and can stay aligned on project developments. By proactively communicating these updates, users can be more engaged and informed about project timelines, responsibilities, and changes.
