The name of the file is the name of the provider\n(for example, `sendgrid.ts`). The file must export a class that extends the `AbstractNotificationService` class imported from `@medusajs/medusa`.\n\nFor example, create the file `src/services/email-sender.ts` with the following content:\n\n```ts title=\"src/services/email-sender.ts\"\nimport { AbstractNotificationService } from \"@medusajs/medusa\"\nimport { EntityManager } from \"typeorm\"\n\nclass EmailSenderService extends AbstractNotificationService {\n  protected manager_: EntityManager\n  protected transactionManager_: EntityManager\n\n  sendNotification(\n    event: string,\n    data: unknown,\n    attachmentGenerator: unknown\n  ): Promise<{\n      to: string;\n      status: string;\n      data: Record<string, unknown>;\n    }> {\n    throw new Error(\"Method not implemented.\")\n  }\n  resendNotification(\n    notification: unknown,\n    config: unknown,\n    attachmentGenerator: unknown\n  ): Promise<{\n      to: string;\n      status: string;\n      data: Record<string, unknown>;\n    }> {\n    throw new Error(\"Method not implemented.\")\n  }\n\n}\n\nexport default EmailSenderService\n```\n\n---\n\n## Identifier Property\n\nThe `NotificationProvider` entity has 2 properties: `identifier` and `is_installed`. The value of the `identifier` property in the notification provider\nclass is used when the Notification Provider is created in the database.\n\nThe value of this property is also used later when you want to subscribe the Notification Provider to events in a [Loader](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/loaders/overview).\n\nFor example:\n\n```ts\nclass EmailSenderService extends AbstractNotificationService {\n  static identifier = \"email-sender\"\n  // ...\n}\n```\n\n---","optional":false,"defaultValue":"","expandable":false,"children":[]}]}  sectionTitle="retrieveProvider_"/>
