How to Dispatch Custom Email Notifications

This How-To assumes you have completed the quick start and have an exhibit connected to Gumband Cloud

When a critical component of your exhibit goes down, you want to know right away. Gumband has email notifications built-in for a number of use cases, such as when the Operation Mode changes or the exhibit goes offline/online, but you can also define your own custom email notifications with the GumbandSDK.notifications.email(customMessage: string) function:

//listening for errors on a connection to some generic third party integration
thirdPartyIntegration.on('error', () => {
    this.gumbandSDK.notifications.email("An error occurred with the third party integration");
});

Each Gumband user can individually subscribe to the built-in notifications or any custom notifications you dispatch in the Exhibit Notifications tab:

The Exhibit Notifications tab in the Gumband UI. The “Custom Exhibit Notifications” are subscribed to by the user, “lderrick@deeplocal.com”.
