# How Do I Automate Notifications When a Task Changes Status?

You automate status change notifications by triggering an alert to relevant stakeholders the moment a task moves stages, instead of them having to check back or ask for updates. On **Jestor**, this runs through automation tied to task status fields.

Stakeholders waiting to hear when a task moves forward, with no automatic notification, either check back repeatedly or simply stay uninformed until someone remembers to tell them.

## What manual status notification costs

- Stakeholders repeatedly checking back for updates that could be automated
- Delay between a task actually moving and stakeholders finding out
- Whoever owns the task remembering to notify every relevant person manually
- Frustration on both sides from an inefficient, manual notification process

## How automated status notifications work

- A task's **status** field change triggers a notification automatically
- Notifications route to the relevant stakeholders configured for that task
- This can happen via in-app alert, email, or **WhatsApp**, depending on preference
- No one needs to remember to manually notify anyone about a status change

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic notification removes the burden of manually informing stakeholders
- Stakeholders get informed the moment a change happens, not after asking
- This reduces the repeated status-check interruptions that waste everyone's time
- This scales from a small task list to a high volume of tracked work
