How to: Create a custom notification on PowerBoard

Welcome to the PowerBoard Dashboard tutorials. Today we’ll show you how to create a new notification. Notifications will inform you of the activity on your account in real-time. They can be delivered by webhook or email and are customisable … so you can send receipts or alerts, and trigger other processes, like shipping or correspondence. To access the PowerBoard portal, you’ll need to log in using your credentials. To create a new notification head over to the Notifications tab … then select Add New. In the Notification Type dropdown, you can select from the list of channels. We’ll create an Email notification. In the Event dropdown you can choose the type of event to trigger the notification.

We’ll select Transaction Success, so a notification will be triggered when a successful transaction is created. Then choose a template for this notification. You can choose from a previously created template, or you can create a new template. For an existing template, only previously created templates for the same event type can be applied to a notification. We’ll select a previously created template named Transaction Success. You can preview the template on the right side of the screen. In the Payload Destination field, enter the customers email for them to receive the notification… or for the payer to receive the notification, select Payer Email. Selecting this automatically pulls the Payer's email address into the Notification. We’ll select Payer Email as the Payload Destination for this notification. Now you can fill the From and Subject fields if required. Let’s make it from [email protected] ... and Transaction Processed Successfully as the subject. Then click Add Notification to confirm. The newly created notification will appear on the Notifications page. Discover more new features on the PowerBoard Developer Hub.
