To send outbound notifications to an endpoint, you must configure notification rules specifying the target endpoints, notification rule criteria, and the API outbound templates you want to use. The target endpoints REST API endpoint you configure must be REST enabled so they can receive handle RESTful API calls. The DXL endpoints must be connected to DXL brokers and listen on specific DXL topics as configured in the DXL action template. A notification rule contains the target endpoint to which you want to send outbound notifications and the event type upon which you want to take action. The event type you select in a notification rule must match the event type defined in the API template you want to use for that rule. Otherwise, the appliance returns an error. Therefore, you must first create and upload API outbound templates to the Grid, and then select the correct API template you want to apply to the notification rule.
To configure outbound REST API notifications, complete the following:
- Prepare RESTful API outbound templates that you want to use for notification rules. For more information about API templates, see About RESTful API Outbound Templates. You can also reference sample API templates for supported ecosystem partners and modify them accordingly.

2. Upload RESTful API templates to the Grid so you can use them for corresponding notification rules. For more information, see in Adding Outbound Templates Adding RESTful API Templates.
