Arguments

message

JSON-formatted string that specifies the type and content of the message. The string must be in the following format:

'{ "<content_type>": "<message_contents>" }'
Copy

Where:

  • "content_type" is one of the following:

    • "text/plain" for plain text messages.

    • "text/html" for HTML messages.

    • "application/json" for JSON messages.

  • "<message_contents>" is the content of the message.

For example:

'{ "text/html": "<p>A message</p>" }'
Copy

To construct this string, you can call one of the following functions:

  • To send an HTML email message, call the TEXT_HTML function.

  • To send a plain text email message, call the TEXT_PLAIN function.

  • To send a JSON message to a queue, call the APPLICATION_JSON function.

integration_configuration

JSON-formatted string that specifies the notification integration or the email configuration to use to send the notification. The string must be one of the following formats:

'{ <integration_name>: {} }'


'{ <integration_name>: { <options> } }'
Copy

Where:

  • integration_name is the name of the notification integration in double quotes.

  • options is a comma-delimited list of properties (in JSON format) that specify values that override the defaults in the integration. You can specify the following properties:

    Property Name

    Description

    subject

    Subject line of the email notification. For example:

    { "subject" : "Service status update" }
    
    Copy

    The subject cannot exceed 256 characters in length.

    If you do not set this property, the default subject line from the integration is used.

    If the integration does not specify a default subject line, "Snowflake Email Notification" is used.

    toAddress

    List of email addresses of the recipients to include in the “To:” line of the email notification.

    Format this list as a JSON array. For example:

    { "toAddress" : ["person_1@example.com", "person_2@example.com"] }
    
    Copy

    If you do not set this property, the stored procedure uses the list of email addresses from the DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS property of the email notification integration.

    ccAddress

    List of email addresses of the recipients to include in the “Cc:” line of the email notification.

    Format this list as a JSON array. For example:

    { "ccAddress" : ["person_to_cc1@example.com", "person_to_cc2@example.com"] }
    
    Copy

    bccAddress

    List of email addresses of the recipients to include in the “Bcc:” line of the email notification.

    Format this list as a JSON array. For example:

    { "bccAddress" : ["person_to_bcc1@example.com", "person_to_bcc2@example.com"] }
    
    Copy

    For example:

    '{ "my_queue_int": {} }'
    
    Copy
    '{ "my_email_int": { "subject" : "Different subject" } }'
    
    Copy
    '{ "my_email_int": { "subject" : "Different subject" }, { "toAddress": ["person_a@example.com"] }'
    
    Copy

To construct the JSON-formatted strings for the integration configuration, call one of the following functions:

  • If you are sending the notification to a queue, or if you are sending an email notification and want to use the default values specified in the email notification integration, call the INTEGRATION function.

  • if you are sending an email notification and want to override the default values specified in the email notification integration, call the EMAIL_INTEGRATION_CONFIG function.

( message [ , message , ... ] )

ARRAY of JSON-formatted strings, each of which specify a message type and content. Specify this argument if you want to send a message in multiple formats.

Each message should use the format described above.

To construct the ARRAY, call the ARRAY_CONSTRUCT function.

Note

The ARRAY cannot contain more than one object for the same message content type.

( integration_configuration [ , integration_configuration , ... ] )

ARRAY of JSON-formatted strings, each of which specifies a notification integration and configuration to use. Specify this argument if you want to use multiple notification integrations or email configurations to send a message.

Each integration configuration should use the format described above.

To construct the ARRAY, call the ARRAY_CONSTRUCT function.

Note

The ARRAY cannot contain more than one object for the same notification integration.

Returns

If the stored procedure executes successfully, it returns the string “Enqueued notifications”.

Usage notes

If the DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS property is not set in the notification integration and you do not set the toAddress: property in the SYSTEM$SEND_SNOWFLAKE_NOTIFICATION call, the call fails.
