Fundamentals
MSP Notifier is based on two main entities:
- Adapters
- Channels
Each adapter and each channel have a unique alphanumeric identifier that you can use to reference them.
An adapter is a set of classes created by a Magento developer to integrate an external messaging software (i.e.: Telegram, Slack, email, ...).
If you need to add more adapters you can do it, but if you are not a Magento developer, you probably need to hire one.
A channel is basically an adapter configured with a certain set of parameters.
Example:
If we want to send a Telegram message to an imaginary user John Doe, we should create a channel
over the Telegram adapter and configure it with John Doe chat_id destination.
We can have multiple channels using the same adapter, so if you need multiple channels setup or recipients, you can do it.
Channels can be directly added from Magento backend.
- Open
System > MageSpecialist Notifier > Manage Channels - Click the small arrow in
New Channelbutton and select the adapter type for your channel:
- Fill in the general information paying attention to identifier uniqueness. Identifiers should be alphanumeric only and without spaces.
- Each adapter may require some additional and specific parameter. Check the adapter's guide if you need further information.
If you have
msp/module-notifier-queueinstalled, you will see some additional parameters in the Message queueing section. Click here to see how to handle asynchronous messages.
After a channel is configured, you may want to test it to make sure everything is fine.
You can use the test message feature:
If you correctly configured you channel you should receive a test message in few seconds.
