Configuring HTTP Notification Grouping
In high-volume environments where large numbers of HTTP Notification records are generated, for example, for recurring Appointments, you can configure the active System Setting record to create groups of notifications to be sent in batches. After you configure this functionality, notifications generated by the main transaction are created in groups with a shared ID that are then divided into subgroups and sent via HTTP requests. All notifications in a subgroup must be ready to send before the group is sent. In cases where a transaction creates only one notification, no groups are created. Optionally, you can specify time intervals at which groups of notifications are sent and the amount of time after which to split groups that are not ready to send into individual notifications, so that the queue can be cleared. If needed, you can also configure an operation that overrides the specified subgroup creation settings.
