AWS managed notification subscriptions

You can manage your AWS managed notification subscriptions from the User Notifications console. AWS managed notifications are divided into categories, allowing you to manage subscriptions for each category. You can select which contacts receive AWS managed notifications based on a category. You can also choose where your AWS managed notifications are sent using delivery channels. You can send notifications to multiple channels, including [root ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-update-root-user.html) and [alternate contact emails](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-update-contact-alternate.html), chat channels, and mobile devices.

## Adding delivery channels for AWS managed notifications in AWS User Notifications
Adding delivery channels for AWS managed notifications

You can add delivery channels from the console to have your AWS managed notifications sent to other locations. Available delivery channels include, email addresses, and chat channels

**Note**  
Emails you receive from User Notifications are sent from the domain `@aws.com`. The prefix of the emails you receive reflect the AWS service sending the communication. For example, notifications from AWS Health are sent from the email `health@aws.com`.  
Aggregated notifications are sent from `notifications@aws.com`. If your organization uses an email allow list, add the `@aws.com` domain to ensure you receive all User Notifications emails.

**To add delivery channels**

1. Open User Notifications in the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **AWS managed notifications subscriptions**.

1. In **Delivery channels**, choose **Add delivery channels**.

1. In **Emails**, choose or enter the recipient's email address.
**Note**  
A verification email is sent to newly added email addresses. You can generate another verification email for pending addresses by choosing **Reverify**. Verified emails have a green checkmark next to the email address when added as a **Recipient**.  
The recipient must be signed in to the AWS account that added the email address to complete the verification process. The verification link directs to the AWS Management Console.
**Tip**  
You can use your email distribution lists as an email delivery channel to easily subscribe multiple email addresses to User Notifications with a single verification flow. You can separately add and remove emails to the distribution list without requiring further verification with User Notifications. 

1. For **Name**, enter the recipient's name.

1. (Optional) Choose **Add another recipient** to add more recipients.

1. (Optional) Add mobile devices:

   1. In **AWS Console Mobile Application** select mobile devices to add.

1. (Optional) Add chat channels:

   1. In **Chat channels** select chat channels to add.
