The beneficiaries must be informed about their enrolment status, entitlements, disbursements, exit etc. Multiple methods of notifications may be employed like postal and courier service, SMS, email, and messaging apps. OpenG2P provides in-built support for email and SMS with simple configuration changes. The notifications are triggered at certain default points in the delivery chain, however, depending on the needs of a specific implementation more trigger points may be added. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.openg2p.org/1.0.0/notifications.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
