About Automated Notifications
• Enabling and configuring one of the notification types and setting preferences for that
notification type; see "Setting Up Automated Notifications" on page 545 for complete
details.
• Customizing the email notification messages that are sent. You do this by changing the
template associated with a type of notification. You can change the contents of the
message of both plain text messages and HTML messages, or the appearance of HTML
messages. See "Customizing Notification Messages" on page 548 for more information

Types of Automated Notifications

Three types of automated notifications are available:
• Certificate Issued
• Request In Queue
• Certificate Revocation.
Certificate Issued
A notification message is automatically sent to users who have been issued certificates. A
rejection message is sent if the user's certificate request is rejected.
Request in Queue
A notification message is automatically sent to one or more agents when a request enters the
agent request queue, using the email address(es) you set up for the agent when you set up
this feature. There is also a job that sends a notification to agents about the status of the
queue. The job sends a summary of the status at certain intervals. This notification sends an
email every time a message enters the queue. For more information about the request in
queue job, see "RequestInQueueJob," on page 554.
Certificate Revocation
A notification message is automatically sent to users when their certificate is revoked.
You can create additional automated notifications using the CS SDK.
