Use Case: Enable Transaction Event Alerts
You can receive a notification every time a transaction occurs or changes status by setting up email alerts or web alerts (also known as webhooks) in the portal. This tutorial walks you through the steps required to configure an email or web alert for transaction creation or status change events.
Objective
Create a new alert that notifies you when a transaction associated with your account is created or changes status.
Audience
Facilitators
Referrers
Merchants
Environment
Portal (Sandbox)
Portal (Production)
Prerequisite
Prerequisite:
You must have a fully boarded Payrix account to perform any of the actions described in the use case guides.
