X-Tee (X-Road): the service layer for e-Estonia notifications

X-Tee (internationally X-Road) is the backbone of Estonia's digital state infrastructure — all government agencies exchange data through this secure distributed system. 4notify provides an Adapter-Server module that receives X-Tee service calls (e.g., from eIDAS auth, e-Health note, e-Tax status) and dispatches them to users via email, SMS or push. Estonia processes 1M+ X-Tee queries daily.

Context

Every state agency needing citizen feedback or app permission must go through X-Tee. Without a 4notify-style notification layer, X-Tee service response stays hidden from users.

Legal framework
Avaliku teabe seadus

State information systems interoperability requirement.

X-Road Service Agreement (RIA)

RIA (Information System Authority) manages; providers certified.
