Each notification contains an eventCode
that specifies which type of event triggered the notification. Most event codes are enabled by default when you set up Standard notifications. However, for some event codes you need to contact our Support Team to receive them as part of your Standard notifications.
In addition to Standard notifications, you can set up endpoints to receive specific types of notifications.
