Notifications

What it does

Notifications let administrators manage templates, events, deliveries, and subscriptions for channels such as email or SMS. Templates define content; events record what was triggered; subscriptions control who receives which kinds of messages. An emergency review queue may be available for sensitive notification paths.

Where to find it

  • Notifications/notifications
  • Templates/notifications/templates
  • Events/notifications/events
  • Subscriptions/notifications/subscriptions
  • Emergency review/notifications/emergency-review

Notifications admin

Common tasks

Manage a template

  1. Open Notifications → Templates.
  2. Create or open a template: code, channel, body/variables your site uses.
  3. Save. Voided templates cannot be used for new deliveries.

Review events and deliveries

  1. Open Events.
  2. Open an event to see delivery attempts. Failed provider attempts remain in history so nothing is silently lost.

Configure subscriptions

  1. Open Subscriptions.
  2. Create a subscription for a user/person, channel, and template or event-type scope.
  3. Deactivate subscriptions that should stop receiving traffic.

Emergency review

Open Emergency review when your deployment uses moderated / break-glass notification paths, and process items according to local policy.

Tips & limitations

  • Real email/SMS providers are configured by operations (SMTP / SMS gateway). Local and CI environments often use a simulated provider — messages appear as deliveries without leaving the platform.
  • Subscription admin against a live API depends on notification-subscription endpoints (M10-009 / FE-104). If save fails while other notification screens work, that slice may still be mock-backed.
  • Never put secrets or full PHI into template codes or unrestricted variables.
