The Notification Center is designed to act as an inbox within the Emarsys Platform. According to your notification settings the Notification Center can send various types of notifications. A notification is a short message that informs the users in the most effective way either in short toast messages, or emails, notifications and system alerts to acknowledge changes and act accordingly.
