Notification Management

  • Double opt-in procedure to ensure only confirmed recipients receive notifications from SAP Cloud ALM
  • Provide an opt-out option to every notification send from SAP Cloud ALM
  • Handling of bounced emails
  • Ensure compliance with European Union's General Data Protection Regulation
