 ## Notifications
 
 
-The Notifications plugin provides support for publishing business notifications in SAP Build WorkZone. The client is implemented as a CAP service, which gives us a very simple programmatic API:
+The Notifications plugin provides support for publishing business notifications in SAP Build Work Zone. Notification types are defined by annotating CDS events, which the plugin then intercepts and forwards automatically:
 
-```js
-let alert = await cds.connect.to ('notifications')
-await alert.notify({
-   recipients: [ ...supporters ],
-   title: `New incident created by ${customer.info}`,
-   description: incident.title
+```cds
+@notification: {
+  template: {
+    title        : 'New incident: {{title}}',
+    publicTitle  : 'New Incident',
+    subtitle     : 'Created by {{customer}}',
+    groupedTitle : 'Incident Updates'
+  }
+}
+event IncidentCreated {
+  title      : String;
+  customer   : String;
+  recipients : String;
+}
+```
+
+::: code-group
+
+```js [Node.js]
+this.on('CREATE', 'Incidents', async req => {
+  await this.emit('IncidentCreated', {
+    title:      req.data.title,
+    customer:   customer.info,
+    recipients: [ ...supporters ],
+  })
 })
 ```
 
+```java [Java]
+@Autowired
+private NotificationService notificationService;
+
+@After(event = CqnService.EVENT_CREATE, entity = Incidents_.CDS_NAME)
+public void afterIncidentCreated(Incidents incident) {
+    IncidentCreated data = IncidentCreated.create();
+    data.setTitle(incident.getTitle());
+    data.setCustomer(incident.getCustomer());
+    data.setRecipients("supporter@example.com");
+
+    IncidentCreatedContext ctx = IncidentCreatedContext.create();
+    ctx.setData(data);
+    notificationService.emit(ctx);
+}
+```
+
+:::
+
+Alternatively, for Java you can use declarative `@notifications` on entities to trigger notifications automatically without writing handler code:
+
+```cds [Java]
+service IncidentService {
+    @notifications : [{
+        type       : 'IncidentCreated',
+        on         : ['CREATE'],
+        recipients : $self.createdBy,
+        parameters : {
+            title    : $self.title,
+            customer : $self.customer
+        }
+    }]
+    entity Incidents as projection on my.Incidents;
+}
+```
