The Idea behind it

The sending strategy and the notification channels can be specified individually for each event that can trigger a notification. In this way, users can, for example, determine how they would like to be notified of particularly important events.

Origin: (picture)

• Me: The notification is triggered by an event caused by the user.
• Others: The notification is triggered by an event caused by someone else.

Sending Strategy: (picture)

• All channels: A notification will be sent on each of the selected channels.
• First successful channel: The system tries to send notifications via the selected channels, taking into account the specified order. As soon as a notification has been successfully delivered through one channel, no attempt will be made to send the notification through any of the remaining channels.

Example
A notification is triggered by an event for which the following sending strategy is set:

1. Scenario
   • The receiver has an open browser window --> A browser notification is delivered
   • No attempts are made to send the notification through any other channels
     
2. Scenario
   • The browser of the receiver is closed --> A browser notification can't be delivered
   • A push notification is successfully delivered to the receiver's mobile device
   • No email notification is sent
     
3. Scenario
   • The browser of the receiver is closed --> A browser notification can't be delivered
   • The receiver's mobile device is turned off --> A push notification can't be delivered
   • An email notification is sent
