# SendsNotifications

This is a [delegate component](https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com/usage/wirebox-delegators) and requires ColdBox 7+. It should be added to an [`INotifiable`](https://megaphone.ortusbooks.com/reference/inotifiable) instance.

```cfscript
component
    name="User"
    delegates="SendsNotifications@megaphone"
    accessors="true"
{

    property name="id";

    public string function getNotifiableId() {
        return getId();
    }

    public string function getNotifiableType() {
        return "User";
    }

}
```
