notifies
Gives official notice
Notifies is the third-person singular present tense of notify, meaning to formally inform someone of something.
When an institution or system notifies you, it sends official communication about a decision, status, or requirement: The bank notifies customers of suspicious activity.
The word carries a sense of official or procedural communication rather than casual conversation—you notify someone of test results or policy changes, but you simply tell a friend about your weekend plans.
