Watchdoc Print API - Configure notifications

Principle

You can configure notifications to inform WPC users of various actions initiated from WCP for Windows, such as print jobs sent, queued, or printed via the application.

 

These notifications are sent to users in different formats depending on the operating system installed on their workstation. The links in the notification are clickable.

 

Due to the notification triggering process, certain events (such as deletion) may not be reported to the user immediately. The user may only receive the notification when they initiate a new print request.
