Custom Notification through Cloudhub Connector

MuleSoft provide Cloudhub connector to connect with Anypoint Platform from MuleSoft application. Using this we can also send custom notification through Cloudhub connector. So think if you have to send an email notification to group of users, where notification can be just FYI info or Warning or Actual error within the API on which you want the user to work on.

Let’s see how we can achieve the same in MuleSoft

Create Custom Alert in Anypoint

https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/cloudhub/#/console/home/alerts/

Provide the details

• Name of the Alert
• Severity level – Critical, Info and Warning
• Source – Application or Server level
• Application type – Cloudhub Application
• Applications – Application for which we want to generate the notification
• Condition – Custom Application Notification
  • Priority – Any, Info, Warn and Error
• Subject and Message – disabled for us
• Recipients – Email id of recipient whom we want to send email

Alert will look like below

Let’s configure the connector in Mule application

Create a listener

Add the Cloudhub connector create notification activity – please see how we can add the module

Click on adding Connector configuration

• Username – Anypoint platform username
• Password – Anypoint platform password
• Environment id – this is the environment where the alert is created

We get the environment details from Anypoint platform; if name doesn’t work then change it with environment id.

Test the connection

Add the domain – it’s an application name in the environment

Set the message and priority

Run the application and test the endpoint – http://localhost:8081/cloudhub

Now we can see the notification in our email box

Sample application: cloudhub-services
