Notifications

Overview

The Notifications Resource provides the ability to subscribe to alerts, triggered when there is new data or data changes. When you subscribe, you will define parameters for alerts. If and when the conditions are met, DataFied’s Notifications Resource will trigger a message to the specified email address. Alerts are delivered in a pre-defined template; however, there is an option to create custom templates.
