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 .
