Custom Notification type

The notification is not responsible for distributing notifications. That is the purpose of Notification Distribution Types (Email, Live Alert). 

That said, Notification Preferences can be used to identify the selections in your screenshot: 

 List Notification Preference REST Endpoint 

 Notifications In-Process API Service (via the ListPreferences() method)

 core_v2_notificationUserPreference Script API    

Note that these APIs return results for the accessing user.

We have created a custom notification distribution type and using the controller if we generate a notification , we are receiving that notification text as email as well .

Is there anyway to restrict the same

public void CreateNotification(Guid contentId, Guid contentTypeId,string url, int contentAuthor, int subscriberId)
		{
			_notificationController.CreateUpdate(new NotificationCreateUpdateOptions
			{
				ContentId = contentId,
				ContentTypeId = contentTypeId,
				ContentUrl = url,
				LastUpdate = DateTime.UtcNow,
				UserId = subscriberId,
				ActorIdToAdd = contentAuthor
			});
		}

Ben Tiedt Is there any way to restrict the notification text sending out as email.

We implemented custom Email templates and based on the user preference we are sending generating the Notifications as well  Email, But now When the notification is generated it is also distributed as email , So the user will be receiving two Emails , Is there anyway to merge both 

A notification should not distribute itself. The notification system depends on two parts: notifications and notification distribution.

Notifications generate messages based on events.

Notification distributions send notification messages via specific means (email, live alert, push notification, online chat, etc)

A notification that distributes its own message is going to conflict with the system in that distributions will still be used to send the message generated from the notification.

When implementing notifications and notification distributions as expected, end-users can decide how to receive their notifications by enabling notifications and specific distribution options within Settings > Notifications.
