Managing notifications

HCL OneTest™ Server provides a feature to display notifications for different events within the user interface (UI) of HCL OneTest™ Server.

You can also configure third-party applications as webhooks on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want HCL OneTest™ Server to send push notifications about the server events to the third-party applications in a preset template.

Managing notifications in the server UI

Viewing the in-app notifications or notifications in the server UI is a feature that is enabled automatically when you register as a user in HCL OneTest™ Server.

When you register as a user in HCL OneTest™ Server, the in-app notifications are automatically subscribed for you.

If you want to receive notifications about specific events and not all events, you can change the default subscriptions and modify your subscription for the server events. You can also view the in-app notifications that are displayed for you. See Managing in-app notifications.

Managing SMTP notifications

You, as a Server Administrator or Team Space Owner can configure an existing Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server so that HCL OneTest™ Server can send out notifications about the server events in emails to the registered users who have subscribed to the SMTP notifications. See Configuring an SMTP server to manage email notifications.

If you, as a registered user of HCL OneTest™ Server want to receive the email notifications about specific events and not all events, you can change the subscriptions for the server events. See Managing email notifications.

Managing webhook notifications

You, as a Server Administrator, Team Space Owner, or Project Owner can configure third-party applications as webhooks so that HCL OneTest™ Server can send out push notifications about the server events to the third-party applications. See Configuration of a webhook.
