DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Example & Screenshots

In this simple example we are going to create a notification to send an email every time an extension is installed in the backend.

Add a new notification

In the TYPO3 backend, open the notification manager module. A list of available notification types is shown, we click on the button to create a new email notification.

Add a new notification

Configuring the notification

Name

The first thing to do is to name the notification: we use a short descriptive title. We can also add a full description if needed.

Notification tab general

Event

The extension comes out of the box with an event for when an extension is installed. This event can be selected in the list.

Notification tab event

Email content

We can then configure the email content: fill the subject and body; we can make use of the available markers provided by the event.

Recipients

Recipients must be filled for the email to be received correctly. It can be filled up with raw email address(es).

Note

Some events may even suggest dynamic recipient, see chapter “Recipients” for more information.

After saving the notification, the details can be viewed within the manager module:
