    • This means when you trigger an event-based notification, the notification will be sent to the mobile number for which the event was received

    • This is useful, in case you want to send notifications of orders to your internal team or owners as well

    • Hence the events that are registered against the seller's mobile number will have the word "seller" in the start of the event

  • Event Types

    • Order Events
