The Message Notify module extends the Message module by providing a system for forwarding messages. The module uses a plugin system to define message notifiers. It comes with a default email notifier plugin and an SMS notifier plugin that is available when the SMS Framework module is installed.

Each notifier plugin defines view modes that are used to take the message text and render it in a form that is appropriate for the notification mechanism. For example, the email notifier defines a view mode for the subject of an email, message_notify_email_subject, and another view mode, message_notify_email_body, for the body of the email. The SMS notifier, by contrast, only provides a view mode for the body of the SMS since text messages do not use subject lines.

Message Notify includes an example module that demonstrates the usage of notifier plugins. Visit Creating Message Types for Notification for more information on the configuration of Message Notify with the email notifier plugin.
