Over the last few weeks, we have been adding and migrating our deal notifications to a new system. This system improves deliverability and logging, and also gives users more control over their notification preferences. However, as the total number of supported notifications continues to grow, we recognize it can be harder to operators to manage .
This week we released new functionality to let Sales Operators and Administrators configure notification preferences for individual users in their organization. Simply navigate to the main Users page, select the desired user, and updated the individual preferences located at the bottom of the page.
Are there any other notifications or user management features that you would like to see added? Let us know what you think and send your feedback to [sales@revops.io](mailto:sales@revops.io).

- Discounts < 10% : Require Sales Manager approval
- Discounts > 10% and Discounts < 20%: Require VP of Sales approval
- Discounts > 30%: Require CEO approval
As part of this project, the Workflow engine received a major overhaul and now supports assigning a deal approver or topic approver based on the deal owner’s team.

The user profile preferences page has been refactored to make it easier for users to navigate to the sections they care about most. This refactor also sets the groundwork for future expansions. In the near future, we will be adding an enhanced notification settings panel to empower users to fully control which emails they receive.
We have extended Dropdown terms in Deal Editor and Deal Studio to support an optional default value. This new feature can power pricing and packaging scenarios where it’s not always possible or desirable to set a default option. For example, when there are optional service add-ons or features.
This feature is fully compatible with the existing “Required term” behavior so Sales Operators and Deal Desk admins can still require Sales Reps to select an option before submitting their deals to Deal Desk.
See KnowledgeBase article for a complete example of how to configure dropdown terms in RevOps.
