How to configure notifications and email templates in Azure API Management

API Management provides the ability to configure notifications for specific events, and to configure the email templates that are used to communicate with the administrators and developers of an API Management instance. This article shows how to configure notifications for the available events, and provides an overview of configuring the email templates used for these events.

   For each event, you can specify email recipients using the email address text box or you can select users from a list.

Configure notification templates

API Management provides notification templates for the email messages that are sent in the course of administering and using the service. The following email templates are provided.

• Application gallery submission approved
• Developer farewell letter
• Developer quota limit approaching notification
• Invite user
• New comment added to an issue
• New issue received
• New subscription activated

These templates can be modified as desired.

To view and configure the email templates for your API Management instance, click Notifications templates.

Each email template has a subject in plain text, and a body definition in HTML format. Each item can be customized as desired.

The Parameters list contains a list of parameters, which when inserted into the subject or body, will be replaced the designated value when the email is sent. To insert a parameter, place the cursor where you wish the parameter to go, and click the arrow to the left of the parameter name.

Note

The parameters are not replaced with actual values when previewing or sending a test.

To save the changes to the email template, click Save, or to cancel the changes click Discard.
