    Messengers

    Available since 1.26.0

    Messengers

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

    Message Transports

    In version 1.26.0, each messenger type is assigned a read-only transport value of sms. This tells FusionAuth which configurations the messenger may be assigned to. For example, when configuring SMS settings in multi-factor configuration on a Tenant, we can safely assign only messengers designated with the corresponding transport value.

    Set Up a Messenger

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

    • Set Up a Generic Messenger

    • Set Up a Kafka 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.
