This article is for developers with a full understanding of how to work with our API.  

Important note about the API explorer: 
When you follow the link we provide to the API explorer, you'll see a red warning.

The API itself is not deprecated. It's the Google API explorer that is deprecated. All the processes described in our API articles function correctly and safely if you use this Google API explorer. 

Email notifications sent from AODocs use default addresses. Learn more: List of email notifications sent by AODocs.

You can customize the sender addresses for email notifications. This can help users recognize the sender and context. Two custom configuration flags are available to change the default addresses for the whole domain or specific libraries. You can use the API to:

• define a prefix in email notification addresses, as described in this article
• customize the sender domain in email notification addresses – that is, what comes after the @ sign

Important:
– You can configure this custom configuration by API only. It isn't available in the administration interface.
– Custom configurations at the library level take precedence over those set at the domain level. For example, if you set the prefix as contracts at the domain level and as invoices for one library, all the libraries on the domain will send notifications with the prefix contracts except the one in which the flag is defined as invoices.

Learn more: Use the API to check which custom configuration flags are set on your domain or library.

Define a prefix in your email notification addresses at the domain level

1. As an AODocs super administrator, follow one of these links to the AODocs API:

• US instance:

https://apis-explorer.appspot.com/apis-explorer/?base=https://ao-docs.appspot.com/api#s/domain/v1beta1/domain.configuration.set

• EU instance:

https://apis-explorer.appspot.com/apis-explorer/?base=https://aodocs-core-eu-1.appspot.com/api#s/domain/v1beta1/domain.configuration.set 

Note: Dedicated instances have their own URLs. Learn more: What are AODocs instances?

2. Enter the flag name: email_sender_noreply_address_prefix.

3. In the Request body field, enter the prefix you want to use.

Note: By default, email notifications start with the word notifications. Learn more: List of email notifications sent by AODocs. The prefix you enter will replace the word notifications. The rest of the text before the @ sign remains unchanged.

4. Click Authorize and execute. The response is displayed in the lower part of the screen.
