Notification Policies

Create a notification policy to limit the number of SMS/voice or email notifications that can be sent per day.

About this task

You can create one or more notification policies, and change the default policy for the environment if required. When creating an environment a notification policy is created by default.

The limits in a notification policy can be per environment or per user. For both SMS/voice and email notifications, you can define a limit for the total number of notifications or separate limits for used and unused notifications. Used notifications are those to which users responded. Unused notifications are those that users received but did not use for registration or authentication.

The daily notification counters are reset every night at midnight UTC.
If your email notifications are being sent via the Ping Identity email service, there is a fixed maximum of 1.5 million email notifications per day for each environment.
