This guide provides an overview of notifications and steps for adding and managing notification targets using the Highnote dashboard. 

Overview

Notifications work by using webhooks for events that occur within your Highnote implementation. Notifications allow you to monitor card program activity. The following use cases represent some common ways notifications are used: 

• Complete asynchronous onboarding flows
• Monitor for changes or alerts
• Transfer data from Highnote into third-party systems such as a CRM or analytics solution

For more information on using notifications, see the Notifications developer guide.

Add notification target

Notifications targets use configurable events that send a notification to your webhooks. See the Notifications developer guide for information on setting up webhooks. 

Once your webhooks are configured, you can add notification targets using the Highnote dashboard. Refer to the following steps to add notification targets: 

1. From the Highnote dashboard, click Developers and select the Notifications tab. 
2. Click Add Notification Target.
3. Provide a Notification Name and Target URL. The target URL is your webhook's address. 
4. In the notification events section, use the toggles to select events to deliver to your notification target. For an overview of events, see the Events Reference developer guide. 
5. Optional - Add Email. This field is only available in the live environment and is used by Highnote to send you notifications about deactivated webhooks. 
6. Click Add Webhook Notification Target. 
7. Copy your notification target key and store it in a safe location. 
8. Click I've copied my key. 

Notification targets are not active upon creation. To activate a notification target, see Activate notification target.
