Notifications FAQ

What is the difference between a notification and a task? 

Notifications are the way Coupa keeps you informed about new information or changes related to your account. You can receive notifications through email or SMS.

Tasks require an action in order to be completed. These appear on your workbench when Coupa or their customers needs you to take an action.

Why can't I see a notification in the workbench? 

Some notifications do not require any action on your part. For example, when an invoice is approved, there typically isn't any follow-up needed from suppliers, so there is no task for you to perform. You can configure your notification settings to receive an email when such events happen by following the steps in Change your CSP notification preferences above. 

How can a customer use the workbench? 

If you are a buyer or customer and want to read more about the Workbench, you can find the documentation in Coupa Compass > Products > Supply Change Collaboration > Supply Chain Collaboration Documentation > Purchas Order Collaboration > Using PO Collaboration > Use the Workbench to Manage Order Confirmation Tasks > Understand the Workbench.
