You can use the following function to send an alert / notification in AX. Can come in quite handy for automated processing when you would like to know when something happened. If you would like the email to send, the batch job to email alerts must be setup.

 

static void sendAlert(userId _userId, str _subject, str _message)
{
    EventInbox inbox;
    EventInboxId inboxId;
    sysUserInfo _userInfo;

    ;

    inboxId = EventInbox::nextEventId();

    ttsbegin;
    inbox.initValue();
    inbox.ShowPopup             =   NoYes::Yes;
    inbox.Subject               =   _subject;
    inbox.NotificationSource    =   EventNotificationSource::Alerts;
    inbox.Message               =   _message;
    inbox.SendEmail             =   true;
    inbox.UserId                =   _userId;
    inbox.InboxId               =   inboxId;
    inbox.AlertCreatedDateTime  =   DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();


    inbox.insert();
    ttscommit;
}
