Purpose

Add standard use-case documentation for the notification template management feature to the B2C ("Secure Consumer Access") use-case section. This documents the capability at the concept level; it does not implement the feature.

Sources:

Approach

New page:

  • docs/content/use-cases/b2c/build-notifications.mdx — "Customize Notifications". Concept-altitude use-case page: why customize, what a notification template is (scenario type + per-locale content), what you can change (content per channel, locale variants, branding composed via Design, new templates), how a notification is produced at render time, preview, and this-phase scope (content is global; per-OU content deferred; branding resolves per application). Grounded in the shipped template resource fields (id, displayName, scenario, type, subject, contentType, body, plus the new locale dimension) and design discussion [Design Discussion] Notification templates management support #5388. A :::note marks it as a newly designed capability.

Updated pages:

  • docs/content/use-cases/b2c/build-index.mdx — added "Customize Notifications" to the Build It order.
  • docs/content/use-cases/b2c/build-flows.mdx — cross-linked from where the recovery email's emailTemplate is set.
  • docs/content/use-cases/b2c/try-it-out/account-recovery.mdx — "Going Deeper" pointer to the new page.
  • docs/sidebars.ts — registered the page in the B2C → Build It category, after "Build the Sign-In Flows".

Placed after "Build the Sign-In Flows" because those flows are what send the OTP/recovery notifications this page tailors.

Verified locally with docusaurus build (onBrokenLinks: throw): builds successfully, no broken links introduced, and the new page raises no broken-anchor warnings.

Use RepoLink for repository links

The documentation convention requires <RepoLink> for repository URLs and GitHub links. Replace both raw URLs:

<RepoLink path="/discussions/5388">design discussion `#5388`</RepoLink>
<RepoLink path="/issues/5337">issue `#5337`</RepoLink>

The thunder-id slug is a repository identifier, not prose product-name usage. This is a minor documentation-link convention issue, not a critical product-name error.

Managing templates at runtime removes that constraint. An administrator views every template, edits its content per
locale, composes branding on top, previews the result as the customer will receive it, and adds templates for new
needs, all through the Console or the management API.

Mark runtime notification management as planned

build-notifications.mdx identifies runtime management as an intended feature, but later sections describe Console and management API editing, preview, and template creation as current. The existing Notification Templates guide documents only shipped YAML templates loaded from disk and states that they are not Console resources.

Mark the runtime-management claims as planned or remove them. Keep the other links unchanged because file-based template customization ships today.

Correct the email-branding description. The email executor renders the scenario template and sends its subject and body. The template service only substitutes {{ctx(...)}} values. Neither path resolves Design or organization-unit branding. Replace “one change covers every email” with the supported template behavior; Design applies to application or organization-unit authentication screens, not email.
