SQL Triggers & SQL Database Mail

There are already a number of built-in SYSPRO Triggers and Events, but, frustratingly, the one you need is often unavailable. Utilising SQL Triggers is a powerful way of extending the functionality of standard SYSPRO. SQL Triggers fire on a table when a record is INSERTED, DELETED or UPDATED. This means that you can trigger an action at just about any point in a Business Process, and control the exact circumstances (using CASE and IF statements etc) under which the Trigger fires.

Adding SQL Database Mail to the mix, you can create custom alerts & notifications, and send them via Email to a mailing list or dynamic email addresses.

For example:

  • Notify a Sales Rep when a Quotation is confirmed
  • Notify Stores with a Pick List when Material is allocated to a Job
  • Notify Accounts when an On-Hold Customer has made a Payment
  • Email a Customer when their Goods have been Despatched
