Description: Task notification in automation tools is a mechanism that allows sending a signal to trigger a handler when a task changes state. This concept is fundamental in task automation, as it enables system administrators and developers to efficiently manage changes in infrastructure. When a task is executed and a change is detected, the task notification ensures that a specific handler is executed, which can be any action desired as a result of that change, such as restarting a service or updating a configuration. This feature not only optimizes the workflow but also minimizes the need to perform unnecessary actions, which can save time and resources. In automation tools, handlers are defined in the same configuration file and are triggered only if the corresponding task has changed, providing more granular control over the automation process. Therefore, task notification is a powerful tool for configuration management and service orchestration in complex IT environments.
