Default notification policy

Overview

The Admin Console provides many out-of-the-box email and SMS notification templates to use for informing your customers about security events, activities, and updates on their accounts.

The default notification policy comes with every notification template enabled by default.

Certain templates can't be disabled because they are essential for self-service account capabilities, such as different account management, account recovery, and multi-factor authentication features.

Essential notification templates are marked as mandatory in editor view:

Customer notifications are delivered in two ways:

via e-mail (relayed through our hosting partner, Amazon's Simple Email Service)
via SMS (relayed using our SMS and Voice delivery partner, Telesign).
