Notification Events - Overview
What is a notification event?
A notification event is the final club sandwich of templates, providers, and channels.
Notification Events = Providers + Rule + Template
What does it do?
A notification event is what sends your configured message to the end user.
Note: We are talking about transactional scenarios and a notification event such as a transaction will most usually be triggered for only one user.
Bulk sending of a message is more promotional and is not the purpose of a notification event. A notification event is personalised for a user at a given point in time.
How do they work?
- Add the recipient number or email ID - depending on your use case.
- Add variables that have been created within the template.
- Variables are usually denoted within {{}}.
- Each variable needs to be filled out without which the default variable placeholder itself will be delivered in the message.
Work involved in creating a notification event?
You will need to choose the template along with the channels to create a successful notification event. A detailed walk-through is provided in the next section.
