I wanted to add here that it would be very useful if you could apply this Notification automation to certain fields, and set up rules as such.

So for example, your “Date” field would be able to trigger notifications if it became “less than” now, such as “overdue.”

Another use would be tie-in to Workflow. If somebody changes to “closed,” which has a certain distinction already in the Workflow Extension, that could trigger a Notification.

This relates to this request, which I think is specifically talking about this functionality on a “user” type field:

> [@Set up Notifications for Secondary User Fields](https://community.fibery.io/t/set-up-notifications-for-secondary-user-fields/904/3):
>
> I have also created a request for this functionality: It would follow that a “watcher” type of user would also be incorporated into Notifications, as is the case with most other Work Management apps. Feel free to add a " heart" vote for that as it’s the only way I know in this community to “upvote” requests!

This has really been hard for my team, who has to keep looking in Fibery to see where things are assigned, overdue, completed, etc. having relied on notifications for this in the past, since this is a typical feature of most competent Work Management tools.

And as always, would love any guidance from the Fibery team about this. Notifications/Actions are a big piece I am waiting on and haven’t seen a tweet or mention of them in quite a while!

Thanks!
