Novu

The open-source notification infrastructure for developers

Building a notification system shouldn't be hard. With Novu, our goal is to simplify notifications and provide developers with the tools to create meaningful communication between the system and its users. Add a real-time notification center to your app deployed on Vercel, or send multi-channel notifications with a single API call.

Features

• Single API for all messaging providers (Email, SMS, Push, Chat)
• Easily manage notification over multiple channels
• Equipped with a CMS for advanced layouts and design management
• Built-in protection for missing variables
• Easy to set up and integrate
• Debug and analyze multi-channel messages in a single dashboard
• Embeddable notification center with real-time updates
• Community driven

Getting Started

After setting up your account, you can trigger the API using the @novu/node package.

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu(process.env.NOVU_API_SECRET);
await novu.trigger('<TRIGGER_NAME>', {
    to: [{
      subscriberId: '<UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER>',
      email: 'john1@doemail.com',
      firstName: 'John',
    }],
    payload: {
      name: "Hello World"
    }
  }
);

Environment variables

This integration will add two variables:

• NOVU_CLIENT_APP_ID Used for showing the notification center component
• NOVU_API_SECRET Used to trigger events
