Unfortunately I don't know of anything like that. Maybe Ivan carries 
something in his rich bag of past experiences :)

(Moreover, I must admit that when going from midPoint 2.x to 3.0, syntax 
for the configuration of notifications had to change radically. So it is 
possible that some examples in wiki are not quite up to date. If you 
encounter anything suspicious, just let us know, please.)

Yes, I've seen that one. However, "Fully customizable forms" relate not 
to notifications, but to the GUI - and that will be really a great 
feature :)

Best regards,
