Notifications

I want to notify actors when a task being allocated to them. I found that in dashboard it is notifying but, I'm looking for an other option like sending an email, because dashboard notifications are not much prominent(According to my perspective). Is there a way to notify actors when a task being allocated to them?

Hi someone at Bonita...

Bonita Answers/Community notifications are not working properly...I've just viewed my profile and it says

*Flag email_user is not setup correctly. It is probably disabled or have no bundles configured. Flag email_node is not setup correctly. It is probably disabled or have no bundles configured. * I've not received any notifications for a few days.
