## Organisation type and funding

You must:

- be funded, directly or indirectly, by the NHS or NHS England
- have funding or a budget agreed for sending messages

## Message types and content

You can only use NHS Notify if your organisation or service sends:

- [event-based messages](https://notify.nhs.uk/about/event-based-messaging)
- [direct messages](https://notify.nhs.uk/about/direct-messaging)
- [messages that are part of a campaign](https://notify.nhs.uk/about/campaigns)

You must also:

- intend to only send communications to patients or other members of the public – NHS Notify cannot be used to message NHS staff
- not use NHS Notify to send marketing communications
- check if other organisations or teams within the NHS are already sending messages about the same subject matter

### If you intend to add links in NHS App messages

Your organisation must onboard with NHS login if your message links to a service that requires users to sign in.

This keeps users logged in so they do not have to enter their details again.

classes='nhsuk-u-margin-top-2'
%}

## Commercial and data

You must:

- have a way to get the NHS numbers of your recipients
- be prepared to sign a connection agreement (if your organisation is part of NHS England)
- be prepared to sign our memorandum of understanding (if your organisation is not part of NHS England)

## Technical preparation

You must have a developer or a technical team to build your integration with NHS Notify.

You must also decide how you want to integrate with NHS Notify. You can integrate through either:

- [NHS Notify API](https://notify.nhs.uk/about/api)
- [NHS Notify MESH](https://notify.nhs.uk/about/mesh)

If you're integrating through NHS Notify API, you can try our <a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/nhs-notify#overview--environments-and-testing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sandbox test environment for early developer testing (opens in a new tab)</a>.

## Next step

If you meet all these criteria, you now need to make sure you’re ready commercially.
