Voodoo RPA E-Mail Notification Service
What is E-Mail Notification Service?
Voodoo RPA Notification Service is a Windows service that is responsible for sending e-mails and its attachments. That background service is used by various business layer components (e.g., studio – email step, unified console – e-mail scheduled tasks).
Attention!
If multiple Voodoo RPA is installed on your robotic process automation farm, just the one of robots should be adjusted as nofication service worker! Other robot’ services need to be disabled.
Info!
If multiple Voodoo RPA is installed on your robotic process automation farm and if you want to install notification service as a central service on the Unified Console machine. Just copy NotificationService from the installation directory to UC host and rename it (i.e C:\VoodooNtf). After that use the below CMD code register service as Windows Service.
sc.exe create VooDooNTFService binpath="C:\VoodooNtf\VooDooNotificationService.exe"
