Configure notifications for payment schedules using Custom Events
Learn how to configure notifications for payment schedules by setting up custom event triggers using the REST API.
The Payment Schedules feature supports setting notifications to notify your end customers on custom events, such as when a payment schedule is created, or when payment schedule items have been processed.
You can leverage the Create an event trigger REST API to set up custom events against the Payment Schedule and Payment Schedule Item base objects.
See Custom Events for information about the Custom Events feature.
