The purpose of this feature is to demonstrate how applications can send email notification to selected people on certain events.

Scenario:

In WLMDP application, TimeEntries tab, users can select time entrise and submit them for management approval. Once these items are successfully submitted, the respective manager(s) receive an email notification stating that there are new times available in CRSD platform that requires their attention.

The email contains a link to the CRSD website and the name of the submitter.

Common component Notification Publisher:

We utilized Notification Publisher for sending the emails.

Steps for setting up the feature:

1. Create your account at https://notification.canada.ca/

2. Create a new service
   Note: A service can be a Live Service (it doesn't have a limit to send e-mail, use this as a production one) or Trial Service

3. Create a new template
   Note: Once you create your template, it's important to save your template ID. You will use that in the body when you call this service

4. Give access to your team members.
   Note: On a trial service, it's important to add your client in a safelist if they are not part of your team member list

5. Create your API Key
   Note: As a standard, it will be important to save this api key in Azure KeyVault. You will use that in the body when you call this service
   Note2: In test, create your key as Team and safelist
