1.2 Custom E-Mail Notifications

Identity Manager enables you to send e-mail notifications through actions you define in policies. For example, if you use the Active Directory* driver to create Microsoft* Exchange mailboxes for users in Active Directory, you can include an action in the Active Directory driver policy that sends an e-mail to the user when his or her mailbox has been created.

Policies include two e-mail notification actions: Send Email and Send Email from Template. The Send Email action includes the e-mail information in the action while the Send Email from Template action references a custom e-mail notification template that you create. For information about creating templates, see Section 4.0, Creating Templates,
