# 1. Notify event

User or external system sends a vital event notification to an assigned office. The notification appears in the {In Progress} workqueue for follow-up and completion.

A vital event notification involves the capture of a minimal set of data related to the occurrence of a vital event and transmission of this to the civil registration authority. In OpenCRVS a notification can be sent by a Field Agent by submitting a partially complete declaration, or it can be submitted from a digital health system e.g. DHIS2, both of which can then found in the {In Progress} workqueue for follow-up and action.

### **Configuration**

* Add Health System integration

### **Pre-condition**

* A Field Agent is completing a declaration
* A Health System integration is configured to send event notifications

### **Triggers**

* A Field Agent can not complete the form with all mandatory information
* A health system sends a birth notification

### **Flow (Field Agent)**

1. Field Agent opens an incomplete declaration
2. User clicks “Send incomplete”
3. Incomplete declaration is sent to the Outbox for processing
4. Once processed the declaration will show in the In Progress workqueue under the tab “Field Agents” for all Registration Agents and Registrars in the registration office

### **Flow (Health System)**

1. Health system user enters birth details
2. Health system sends notification to assigned office
3. Notification will show in the In Progress workqueue under the tab “Health System” for all Registration Agents and Registrars in the registration office

### **Post conditions**

* Record can then be assigned by a Registration Agent or Registrar for them to complete
* Informant receives sms notification with tracking ID if “Sent for incomplete” by Field Agentyout
