Sending Email Notifications
Both API-Portal and CentraSite can send email messages to notify administrators and users about important events and to convey status information.
API-Portal can send user management related email messages to notify users about:
Status of access token requests, renewals, and expiration
Critical events
User registration status, including approval workflow notifications
API-Portal can also reply to user requests for forgotten passwords. Additionally, during access token requests, if CentraSite is not reachable, API-Portal will send an email alert to all users with the API-Portal Administrator role.
CentraSite can send email notifications about:
Access tokens expiring
Policy-related actions
Service deployment
For CentraSite to issue email messages, an administrator must first configure CentraSite's email server settings. CentraSite also provides predefined email templates for use with API key or OAuth token generation, renewal, and expiration. By default, these templates are configured in the centrasite.xml file. But, if you do not want to use the predefined email templates, you can create your own templates and configure the centrasite.xml file as necessary. For instructions to configure CentraSite email server settings, see the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide. For more information about the predefined email templates, see the section on managing API keys and OAuth 2.0 tokens in Working with the CentraSite Business UI.
