Field Validations
payload
- Required - The content of payload cannot be empty, otherwise the notification will be considered invalid.
internalId
- Not Required - This field is here as a way for a requester to track their notifications being created.
deliveryDateTime
- Not Required - This will default to the current date/time if not provided, hence the notification will be scheduled to be sent right away.
- Date/Time Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

- Date/Time Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
deliveryDestination
- Required - The destination must match the format associate with the delivery method.
- Phone Number - The phone number can contain formatting, but the maximum number of digits is 10. This cannot be used, if a method of EMAIL is specified for the delivery method.
