Configuring case participants
Identify the people, businesses, and organizations that receive case notifications by defining case participants. For example, you can create a group of customer service representatives so that they can receive notifications about new assignments and upcoming goals and deadlines.
You can define internal participants that are users of your application, and external participants that do not have an account in your application, such as stakeholders. You can also refer to participants as work parties.- In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Case types, and then click the case type that you want to open.

- In the settings pane, click Participants.
- In the Participants section, click Add participant.
- In the Participant configuration window, in the Role name field, enter a unique name that indicates the relationship of the participant to the case type, for example, Worker.
