@juan.delrio Thank you for the info about Out of the Box Alerts Release 9.

I noticed this alert pack is the first one out of the bunch that links the release notes on Google Drive rather than the documentation page.  Is it possible to include the alert details on the Devo Docs documentation link?  Our organization blocks access to Google Drive so I can’t view the Release Notes without jumping through some hoops.  If Devo plans to publish future release notes on Google Drive I can work with out proxy team to get access but I just thought I’d ask first.


We’ll get that fixed for you!

I included the full release notes here for you as well @tkachouba 


Thanks @juan.delrio!  Very much appreciated!
