Messengers

Messengers are used to send messages from within FusionAuth to other systems.

Message Types#

Beginning in version 1.65.0, each messenger can be configured with one or more message types in messageTypes . This tells FusionAuth which workflows the messenger may be assigned to.

For example, when configuring SMS or Voice settings in multi-factor configuration on a tenant, you can assign a messenger that supports the corresponding message type.

The legacy transport field remains for backward compatibility, but it is deprecated.

Set Up a Messenger#

In FusionAuth, you can set up three types of messengers:

• Set Up a Generic Messenger
• Set Up a Twilio Messenger

To configure a messenger, navigate to Settings -> Messengers and click on the appropriate messenger type in the top right.

Create a Messenger Template#

Message templates are a powerful way to customize messengers and the communication contained within. FusionAuth uses FreeMarker for all templating.

• Manage Message Templates

To configure a message template, navigate to Customizations -> Message Templates .
