Notifications for AWS Marketplace events
The AWS Marketplace Notifications team uses the root user account to send automated email messages. The automated email messages are sent to the email address associated with your AWS account. These email messages provide you with visibility into events on AWS Marketplace. You don't need to set up notifications. They are sent automatically for all AWS Marketplace product type subscriptions.
The AWS Marketplace Notifications team sends email notifications that verify the transaction for offers and agreements made in AWS Marketplace. The notifications are sent in real time based on the successful fulfilment of a customer subscription.
As a seller, you receive an email notification when a buyer accepts an offer. As a buyer, you receive an email notification when you accept an offer. Notifications are sent to a buyer and an independent software vendor (ISV) for public or private offer subscriptions. They are also sent to a buyer, ISV, and channel partner for channel partner private offer subscriptions.
When sent to an ISV or a channel partner, email notifications contain the following details:
-
