SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
An administrator needs to send an email notification to the manager of the caller when an incident is assigned to a specific group. Which combination of notification configuration is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse 'Caller's manager' with 'Manager of the assignment group' or think a generic condition like 'State changes' will suffice, missing the precise condition and recipient required by the scenario.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Condition: 'Assignment group changes to <group>'; Recipient: Caller's manager.
The requirement is to notify the caller's manager when an incident is assigned to a specific group. The condition 'Assignment group changes to <group>' triggers the notification precisely when the assignment group changes to the target group, and the recipient 'Caller's manager' ensures the email goes to the manager of the person who reported the incident. This matches the exact business need without extraneous conditions or incorrect recipients.
