Configuring Delivery Protocols

Delivery protocols prepare and send formatted notifications to delivery endpoints such as SMTP servers and other messaging gateways. When you define a notification class, you configure the delivery protocols that can be used to deliver the notifications from that notification class. For example, if your notification class supports sending notifications through e-mail and to cellular phones using Short Message Service (SMS), you would configure two delivery protocols: SMTP and SMS.

This section describes how Notification Services selects and uses delivery protocols and how you can define delivery protocols for a notification class.
