CS Notifications
The “Notifications” content snippet is used for the central management of notices and informational texts in the CMS. Editors can create individual texts and assign them a unique ID. Other services specifically access these contents via this ID and integrate them contextually, for example, to display additional information during checkout. Notifications are not displayed automatically but must be explicitly called by a connected service.
Use cases for the Notifications snippet
- Central management of notices and informational texts for various scenarios (e.g., checkout processes)
- Contextual integration of notifications by external services (e.g., domain order)
- Individual notices for promotions, compliance, privacy policy, legal notice, cookie notice
Management and creation of the Notifications snippet
- Creation and maintenance centrally in the CMS as a separate content snippet
