When should I use the Notification Type client extension type?

• You want to deliver Liferay notifications through a channel Liferay doesn't ship (SMS, Slack, WhatsApp). • You need central logging or throttling for notifications via your own service.

How do I create a Notification Type client extension?

1. Ship a paired `oAuthApplicationUserAgent`. 2. Implement delivery at `resourcePath`.

What fields are required on a Notification Type client extension?

resourcePath (string): Delivery handler path. oAuth2ApplicationExternalReferenceCode (string): Ref code of the paired `oAuthApplicationUserAgent`.
