|
A Notification Module exposes the functionalities to send a notification to a customer or user. For example, sending an order confirmation email.
|
|
|
|
You can resolve the Notification Module and send notifications in API routes, subscribers, or other resources.

## What is a Notification Provider Module?
|
|
|
|
A notification provider module implements the logic of sending the notification. It either integrates a third-party service or uses custom logic to send the notification.
|
|
|
|
By default, Medusa uses the Local Notification Module which only simulates sending the notification by logging a message in the terminal.
|
|
|
|
Medusa provides other Notification Modules that actually send notifications, such as the SendGrid Notification Provider Module.

## Notification Provider Module Channels
|
|
|
|
When you send a notification, you specify the channel to send it through, such as `email` or `sms`. Each provider defined in the Notification Module's `providers` option has a `channels` option specifying which channels it can be used in. Only one provider can be setup for each channel.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```js title="medusa-config.js" highlights={[["15"]]}
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
// ...
|
|
modules: {
|
|
// ...
|
|
[Modules.NOTIFICATION]: {
|
|
resolve: "@medusajs/notification",
|
|
options: {
|
|
providers: [
|
|
// ...
|
|
{
|
|
resolve: "@medusajs/notification-local",
|
|
options: {
|
|
config: {
|
|
local: {
|
|
channels: ["email"]
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `channels` option is an array of strings indicating the channels this provider is used for.
