The Notifications module enables sending of notification messages using notification providers. Kentico CMS comes with a built-in e-mail notification gateway, however, you can create your custom gateway, such as an SMS or ICQ provider. Site visitors or CMS Desk administrators can subscribe to receiving notifications about specific events and choose the providers they want to obtain notification messages from. It means that for one event, users can obtain notification messages from multiple providers. By default, there are several built-in events (document updated, document deleted, etc.), however, you can create and use your custom ones.
