Registering custom notification gateways

✖
Copy to clipboard

When you have developed a custom notification gateway, you need to register the gateway in the system:

  1. Open the Notifications application.
  2. Click New gateway on the Gateways tab.
  3. Enter the following details into the New gateway form:
    • Display name - name used for the gateway in the administration interface.
    • Code name - serves as an identifier for the gateway. Leave the default (automatic) value to generate an appropriate code name based on the display name.
    • Description - text describing the gateway.
    • Enabled - if unchecked, the notification gateway is not functional – this can be useful if you want to temporarily disable the gateway so that no messages are sent, e.g. when you are performing administration tasks.
    • Gateway provider - Assembly name - identifies the assembly where the gateway class is stored. Select (custom classes) for classes created in the App_Code folder.
    • Gateway provider - Class - name of the class containing the gateway code, including namespaces.
    • Supports message subject - enable if the gateway’s message format supports message subjects.
    • Supports HTML text - enable if the gateway supports messages in HTML format (e.g. for emails).
    • Supports plain text - enable if the gateway supports plain text format (e.g. for SMS).
  4. Click Save to confirm the changes.
