Training Create a Notification Channel

Training: Create a Notification Channel

What you'll learn: how to create a notification channel that flows and the platform can publish messages to, including email delivery. You need: Administrator access type in an application (UI label "Tenant"). Time: 5 minutes.

Before you start

A notification channel is a named destination for messages. Data flows publish to a channel by its binding key; subscribers (including email recipients) receive what is published. Create the channel first, then point your flows at it.

Steps

1. Go to Left menu → App Management → Notifications. (Fallback: header Search → "Notifications".)
2. Click +. In Create a new Notification Channel:
   • Type the Name (e.g. TRAINING Alerts).
   • Type a Description of what the channel carries.
   • Leave Input Schema as {} Any unless you want to validate the message shape.
   • To deliver by email, check Send Email — an Email Template is then required; type the message body template.
3. Click the orange +. Toast: "Notification Channel created successfully."
4. Click the search button. The table shows your channel with its generated Binding Key (e.g. mfgx.tenant.<application>.notification.trainingAlerts) — this is the address flows publish to.

Check your work

The Notification Channels table lists the channel with Name, Description, and Binding Key. Open the row to add Recipients for email delivery.

Try it yourself

Open your channel and explore the Recipients picker. Then open a data flow in the flow designer and look at the Notification node category — the Publish node takes the channel you just created.
