notify
Let someone know
To notify is to inform someone officially or formally, typically about something that requires their attention or action: Please notify the front desk when you leave.
The word implies deliberate communication rather than casual mention—you notify authorities, employers, or next of kin.
A notification is the notice itself or the act of giving it.
