Messaging

You can send messages to external systems after something changes in PolicyCenter, such as a changed policy. The changes trigger events, which trigger your code that sends messages to external systems. For example, if you submit a new policy, your messaging code notifies a billing system about the new policy.

PolicyCenter defines a large number of events of potential interest to external systems. In response to events of interest, rules can be written to generate messages intended for external systems. PolicyCenter queues the messages and then dispatches them to the appropriate external systems.

This topic explains how PolicyCenter generates messages in response to events and how to connect external systems to receive those messages.
