      If your tenant has the Notification and the Configurable Event features enabled, you can create notifications for predefined events and events that you have configured via the Notification and Event Services API.

  7. In the Delivery Options section, specify the following  options:
    1. Select Email, Callout, or both as the delivery protocol.

    2. If you selected Email, click and select the email template.

      If the event is related to an invoice or a payment, you can include the invoice with the email.

      If the event is related to a credit memo or a debit memo, you can include the credit memo or debit memo with the email. This feature is only available if you have the Advanced AR Settlement feature enabled.

    3. If you selected Callout, enter the following information. You can find more information in the article.
      • Base URL: The URL to which you would like to send the callout data. This is the path to the receiver service of the callout.
      • Click add parameter if you want to include additional information in the callout.
        • Click the Parameter Value field to get a list of possible objects and field names that you can pass in as parameters in the callout request.

        New tenants provisioned in Release 209 or later will only use JSON unless the tenant permission is enabled to allow XML in callouts.
