Contact Agora Technical Support to configure and enable the message notification service. Refer to Message Notification Service for details of Data Format for Message Notification Callback.

Agora's notification server sends requests to your server by the POST method. The data structure is in JSON format. The character encoding is UTF-8.

Content-Type: application/json Agora-Signature: The signature

To ensure that the communication between Agora's notification server and your server is secure, it is required to verify the signature when using the notification service.
