Notification Templates
...
are reusable messages that are sent in reaction to SLA Events. Each
...
template is assigned to a selected Provider. In order to add a template to a scheme, you have to create a Notification Provider and enable it first.
...
Each template enables you to select
...
various message options. These options are fully customizable
...
so you can choose the provider, name, description, issue key, and subject of the message.
