Overview

With Trovata’s Notification Center, users can:

  • Reduce manual monitoring of balances and transactions, making cash management more proactive vs. reactive and helping them focus on strategic work

  • Improve compliance by ensuring key events don't go unnoticed


Types of Notifications

1. Balance Threshold

  • Set minimum balance alerts on key operating accounts so you know if cash is at risk of falling below working capital thresholds.

  • Set maximum balance alerts to identify idle cash sitting above your target, prompting investment, funding, or debt pay-down decisions.

2. Data Integrity

  • Set “new balance / transactions data” alerts to confirm your banks are sending feeds as expected.

  • Set “data not received” alerts to catch failed API/file connections before they impact reports.


How to Create a Balance Threshold Notification

  1. Select “New Rule” and choose the Balance Threshold trigger.

  2. Choose the balance property you want to monitor, ex:

    • Opening balance → start-of-day liquidity checks, funding, positioning decisions.

    • Closing balance → end-of-day reporting, compliance, investment sweep triggers.

    • Current balance → real-time or intraday cash decisions.

  3. Enter your lower and/or upper limits.

    • Note: thresholds are applied in the account’s native currency.

  4. Select the accounts you want to monitor and set your cadence (e.g., hourly, daily).

  5. Notifications will appear whenever balances exceed or fall below your defined limits at the chosen cadence.


How to Create a Data Integrity Notification

  1. Select “New Rule” and choose the Data Integrity trigger.

  2. Define the notification type:

    • Data received → runs hourly. You can set the exact time within the hour (e.g., 15 minutes past).

    • Data not received → runs daily. You can choose a specific time of day and apply a time zone.

  3. Save the rule. You’ll be notified if expected bank data is missing or confirmed as received, ensuring your reporting remains complete and timely.
