After you create a notification template, and after you have enabled at least one notification channel, you can use the following procedure in System Center Service Manager 2012 to subscribe to notifications by using the Notification Subscription wizard. Then, notifications will be sent when an object is created, updated, or deleted.

In this procedure, you set up a subscription so that a messaging analyst is notified when a new incident that pertains to an e-mail problem is opened.

Note
Some notification criteria values might not change. If you want to receive a notification when a change occurs, make sure that you choose a value for an object that is likely to change. For example, the Incident ID and the settings do not change.
