Registering custom notification gateways

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.
