This guide will help you understand how you can use Raven to send Razorpay’s payment related notifications with your own custom content, your own branding or your own providers. For example, you can send Invoices to your customers, on SMS and Email with your own custom message and with your sender-id or email. You can also choose to send Invoices on WhatsApp. If you have your own SMS, WhatsApp or Email providers, you can easily use them too to send your notifications.
We recommend going through the Quick Setup in the Get Started tab. It will help you understand how Raven works in less than 5 mins.

​
How will Raven send notifications from Razorpay?

Once you setup the Razorpay extension, Raven will start intercepting events from your Razorpay account. For example, whenever you create an invoice in Razorpay, Raven will receive that event and trigger the notification that you configured.
