Users creating and updating HCMS content can send notifications to users who have subscribed to the relevant categories.

4. Add a Switch Element and fill out the fields
   
   
   • Label: This is what will be displayed to the form users
   • Default On: Choose whether or not to have the switch toggled on by default
   • Required: Make the field required for submission
   • Read Only: Set the field to "read-only" for the user submitting the form
   • Show Conditionally: This option is used when you want the element to only be shown under a certain condition
5. Click Save
   
   
6. On the Workflow tab, add an HCMS Submission Event
   
7. Select the Switch element you just created from the Notification Element drop-down
   
8. Select the same HCMS Categories as the ones on your Subscription List in step 1
