Notification Workflows as Code

For API documentation and reference, please visit our API Reference.

import { workflow, CronExpression } from '@novu/framework';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { render } from '@react-email/render';

const commentWorkflow = workflow('comment-workflow', async (event) => {
  const digest = await event.step.digest('digest-comments', (controls) => ({
    cron: controls.schedule
  }), { controlSchema: z.object({ schedule: z.nativeEnum(CronExpression) }) });

  await event.step.email('digest-email', async (controls) => ({
    subject: controls.subject,
    body: render(<WeeklyDigestEmail { ...controls } events = { digest.events } />)
  }), {
    skip: () => !digest.events.length,
    controlSchema: z.object({
      subject: z.string().default('Hi {{subscriber.firstName}} - Acme Comments'),
      openAiModel: z.enum(['gpt-3.5-turbo', 'gpt-4o']).default('gpt-4o'),
      aiPrompt: z.string().default('Produce a concise comment digest'),
    })
  });
}, { payloadSchema: z.object({ name: z.string(), comment: z.string() }) });

await commentWorkflow.trigger({
  payload: { name: 'John', comment: 'Are you free to give me a call?' },
  to: '[email protected]'
});

Embeddable Notification Center

Using the Novu API and admin panel, you can easily add a real-time notification center to your web app without building it yourself. You can use our React / Vue / Angular components or an iframe embed, as well as a Web component.
