Update to How FedConnect Sends Solicitation Amendment Email Notifications


Summary and Resolution

When a company was registered for a solicitation, FedConnect sent notifications of amendments to FedConnect users from that company whose FedConnect user ID was pending, deleted, or rejected. The system correctly sent the solicitation amendment notification email to the users that it should have sent it to, but it also sent it to the aforementioned users.


This issue is resolved, and now FedConnect sends solicitation amendment notification emails only to active and inactive FedConnect users when the NAICS code does not change on the amendment.


Prerequisites

A vendor in FedConnect with multiple users:

  • Active user (User A—who will perform the Steps to Recreate, below)
  • Active user (User B—whose user ID can be deleted by User A in the Steps to Recreate, below)
  • Inactive user
  • Pending user
  • Rejected user


Access to a public or directed solicitation in FedConnect


Steps to Recreate

  1. Sign in to FedConnect as User A from the prerequisites.
  2. Access the solicitation from the prerequisites, and click Register to Receive Notifications.
  3. Delete User B from the prerequisites.
  4. When an amendment is posted for the solicitation, check the email for both User A and User B.


Results

Only User A receives the solicitation amendment notification email. User B does not receive it.


Notifications Sent to Unsubscribed Users


Summary and Resolution

This issue occurred in opportunities that had previously been posted to FedConnect and that were then updated. In that scenario, after a vendor representative acknowledged the opportunity, notifications were sent to the vendor's other users who had unsubscribed from notifications (meaning users who had selected the check box in the Unsubscribe from all notifications field on the Notifications page in the My Profile section).


This issue is resolved, and now when you unsubscribe from notifications, you do not receive them.
