SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid ways to define who receives a notification in ServiceNow? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the 'Email address from a field' option (which is valid) with a static 'Email address' field (which is not a recipient type), and they may also mistake 'Dynamic recipient' for a real option when ServiceNow uses 'Dynamic user' or 'Dynamic group' instead.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Users in a role
ServiceNow allows notifications to be sent to all users who have a specific role assigned. When 'Users in a role' is selected as the recipient type, the system evaluates the role membership at runtime and sends the notification to every active user with that role, making it a valid and commonly used recipient definition.
