When you create a message for a notification activity, you should make note of whether the notification activity has a Result Type specified. If it does, then the message you create needs to prompt the notification recipient for a special response that is interpreted as the result of the notification activity. The Workflow Engine uses that result to determine how it should branch to the next eligible activity in the process.

To create a message that prompts for this special response, complete the Result tab in the message's property page. The information you enter creates a special 'Respond' message attribute for the message that has an internal name of RESULT. The RESULT message attribute has a data type of Lookup and must be set to the same lookup type as the notification activity's Result Type. This ensures that the performer of the notification can choose from a list of possible response values that matches the list of possible results that the notification activity is expecting. See: Send and Respond Message Attributes.
