E-filing & Email. 
What to expect in your inbox. 

This explanation is written for attorneys. 

Here is a general e-service scenario. First, an attorney e-files and e-serves a motion. He immediately receives the Notice of Electronic Filing by email before the motion is processed and file stamped. Next, the e-filing system immediately serves the motion on all service contacts and their administrative copies. They receive the Notice of Service email with a link to the unstamped motion, because it has not yet been processed. Service contacts will not receive another email when the motion is processed, but the link in the first email is good for 45 days and will open the file-stamped copy once it is available. Next, the clerk processes and file stamps the motion and enters is into Odyssey. The filer is notified the motion was accepted and receives a Filing Accepted email with a link to the file-stamped motion. Attorneys are encouraged to attach their own service contact records to any cases they are working to ensure they are served at their preferred email address and that they are not served conventionally. 

Question: Will I get an email when the court issues an order? 
Answer: Maybe, maybe not. This is because courts have the option to send email notices (e-notices) when an order is issued, but not all counties use e-notices, and those that do may not email all types of orders. 

Here is a general e-notice scenario. 
First, a judge issues an order or other document. A clerk file stamps and enters the order into Odyssey. Attorneys of record in the case--and only the attorneys of record--are notified about the order at the email address on file in Odyssey--not necessarily the same email address as in the e-filing system. Attached service contacts and administrative copies from the e-filing system in this case do not receive e-notices from the court because e-notices do not go through the e-filing system.
