Notifications
Telling a person something happened when they are not looking at the screen — a notification in the launchpad, an email, a message somewhere they already are.
Overview
Node.js →
@cap-js/notifications Publishes business notifications to SAP Build WorkZone from the application, so a user is told something happened without the UI polling for it.
Java →
com.sap.cds:cds-feature-notifications Sends business notifications from a CAP Java application through SAP Alert Notification service, delivered to SAP Build Work Zone or email, or logged to the console in local mode.
Not covered: At the channels capire names, Work Zone and email. A person reached anywhere else, by chat or by a phone's push message, is written on top.

Sending Emails from SAP CAP Applications with Any SMTP ProviderSending Emails from SAP CAP Applications with Any SMTP ProviderWalks through sending mail from a CAP application with no dedicated mail service: create an SMTP destination for a Gmail account in the SAP BTP cockpit, bind it to the Cloud Foundry app, and call the sap-cf-mailer npm package from a CAP service handler naming that destination. The SAP Destination service holds the SMTP host, port and app password so the handler code names only the destination, and the same handler sends plain text, an HTML body, or a message with a base64-encoded attachment.MaheshSirsat1708, published 2025-08-19
How To Implement Alert Notification Service in Cloud Application ProgrammingHow To Implement Alert Notification Service in Cloud Application ProgrammingA click-by-click setup of BTP's Alert Notification service against a CAP application. Operational alerting rather than business notification — the audience is whoever is on call, not the user — which is the distinction the Work Zone plugin here does not cover.Aditya12, published 2025-05-27
Connecting On Premise Mail Destination and Sending Email Using SAP Cloud SDK JavaScript Version 3 on SAP CAPConnecting On Premise Mail Destination and Sending Email Using SAP Cloud SDK JavaScript Version 3 on SAP CAPMail from CAP through a company's own SMTP server rather than a hosted one, which is the case the existing answers did not cover — the author names them and says why each failed here: one needed an SMTP provider like Mailtrap, another solved it in Java. What is left is the connectivity: an on-premise mail destination reached from Node, and a hybrid profile to test it against.codebrokerad, published 2023-02-14

Receive Notifications from Amazon Simple Notification Service for SAP S/4HANA BTP Extension AppReceive Notifications from Amazon Simple Notification Service for SAP S/4HANA BTP Extension AppEmail notifications from a CAP application through Amazon SNS instead of anything SAP provides — a hyperscaler service used directly from the extension rather than through a BTP intermediary. The argument for it is stated as reach rather than cost: the extension gets the platform's services and the hyperscaler's at the same time.albertoliu1993, published 2022-10-14
