Annotations And Alerts



Annotations: Annotation enables anyone to comment or add notes in Google Analytics, which can refer to specific dates or events. It allows marking up specific dates on the Google Analytics page. One can make notes or annotations directly in the Google Analytics account. Annotations added onto the interface can have customised privacy options. Annotations in TestNG are lines of code that can control how the method below them will be executed. They are always preceded by the @ symbol. They are always preceded by the @ symbol. A very early and quick TestNG Example is the one shown below.

Description

Data Integration is complex and helps organizations to combine data and complex business processes in hybrid data environments. The increase in volume, variety and velocity of data has led to delays in monitoring and reacting to issues. Organizations want to reduce the risk of data integration activity failures and the impact to other downstream processes.

Manual approaches to monitoring data integration projects are inefficient and time consuming. As a result, organizations want to have automated processes to monitor and manage data integration projects to remove inefficiencies and catch issues before they affect the entire system.

In this episode, Gaurav Malhotra joins Scott Hanselman to show how organizations can now improve operational productivity by creating alerts on data integration events (success/failure) and proactively monitor their Azure Data Factories.

Description

Custom Notifications and Alerts without a hassle. Notify anyone about any action in your WordPress. With powerful Merge Tags, you can endlessly customize your messages. Set unlimited Notifications in your WordPress Admin via the beautiful and intuitive interface within 5 minutes.

DEFAULT WORDPRESS EMAILS OVERWRITE

Now, with this plugin, you can easily disable default WordPress emails and replace them with your own. To do that you can use our awesome Wizard which will guide you through the process.

HOW DOES IT WORK

The Notification plugin is built with three main components:

  • Trigger – a WordPress action, ie. User registration or Post publication
  • Carrier – the thing which is being sent, ie. Email or Push
  • Merge Tag – dynamic content, ie. {user_email} or {post_permalink}

You can use them in any combination, adding as many Notifications as you want. They can be sent to multiple Recipients with the content you write.

The process is simple:

  • You select the Trigger
  • Compose your message with Merge Tags
  • Set Recipients
  • Save the Notification

From now on the Notification is working. Test it out and add more!

PERFECT FOR DEVELOPERS

The Notification plugin is easy to set in the WordPress Admin, but it’s even easier to extend with some sweet API.

You can create your own Triggers with any WordPress action. If you do in your code do_action( 'my_plugin_doing_awesome_thing' ) you can create a Trigger out of it.

This allows you to use the Notification plugin as a notification system in your own plugin or theme. How? Well, because of two things:

  • You can easily load it by copying the plugin files and including load.php file. A function known from Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
  • You can white label the plugin with just one function which is shipped in the plugin’s core. For free.

How easy extending the Notification plugin is? Let’s see:

  • Adding another Merge Tag to existing trigger – 1 line of code
  • Creating custom Trigger – one intuitive class definition and registration with a single function call
  • Defining Global Merge Tag – 1 line of code
  • Creating new Extension – we have a Boilerplate ready for you to start hacking

See the developer documentation if you don’t believe us.

FAQ

Annotations And Alerts Email

How is this plugin different from Better Notifications for WordPress (BNFW)?

The Notification plugin works very similar to BNFW but it has better codebase and interface. You can read the full comparison in the Notification vs Better Notifications for WordPress article.

How can I test my notifications?

It’s not needed to install 3rd-party plugins to catch your emails or other notifications. The Notification plugin comes with a logger which you can activate in the settings and see all the notification configuration parameters.

Why I’m not receiving any emails?

Is your WordPress sending any emails at all? The best way to test it is to try to reset your password. If you don’t get any email than there’s something wrong with your server configuration. You could use any SMTP plugin to fix that.

You can also try to activate the debug log in plugin settings to see if the email is triggered.

Is this plugin for regular users?

Ofcourse it is! We are trying to make both parties happy – the Users and Developers. Users got their intuitive and beautiful panel in WordPress Admin and Developers got an awesome API by which they can extend the Notification plugin.

So it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any coding skills, they are not required to setup the notifications with this plugin.

Annotations And Alerts Meaning

How to register my own triggers?

With register_trigger() function. See the detailed guide

How to include a custom field in the notification?

You can write a merge tag by yourself or go with a no-brainer Custom Fields extension.

How to target only specific post / category / user etc?

Annotations And Alerts App

You can control when exactly the notification is sending with the Conditionals extension.

Can I send to a custom recipient list based on my own plugin or theme logic?

Yes, just include filter-id:some-value in the Recipient value (using the Email/Merge tag type with the Email carrier), then return your recipient list from the notification/recipient/email/some-value filter.

Can I bundle the plugin with my plugin or theme?

Yes, you can. See the detailed guide

Is this plugin capable of sending high volume emails?

Annotations & Alerts

The plugin is capable and it can send milions of emails, but probably your server is not. To send thousands of emails at once we’d suggest using SendGrid or Mailgun extensions which were designed to support high volume emails in a single API call.

When using SMTP it’s nearly impossible to send more than a dozen emails at once due to timeouts.

Can I test my notifications before sending?

Alerts

Yes, just activate the debug log in the DEBUGGING section of the plugin settings. All notifications will be catched into log visible only to you.
