Enabling Message Center Notifications
By default, 18 browser-based slide-out notification messages and 3 push notifications appear in Message Center. You can enable additional notifications for Message Center, and also deactivate predefined notifications or delete custom notifications. After notifications are enabled, Message records are created at runtime to store the translations or push notification text associated with currently active Message Request records. For browser-based slide-out notifications, messages are stored in the default language for the browser currently in use, and for push notifications, the subscriber’s preferred language is used.
Predefined push notifications are triggered when you create or update Appointments and one of the following validations fails.
