The first Novu Notification Infrastructure Release

We are incredibly excited to release our biggest version since the beginning of Novu. This version includes our first milestone in building the best open-source notification infrastructure. The release is a result of our incredible community collaboration and efforts. Check out all the great shoutouts at the end.

This version includes those large chunks of work:

  • Novu API
  • Notification management web interface
  • Multi Environment Support
  • Integration Store
  • Notification Center API
  • React Notification Center
  • And more!

Get started with the novu platform using:

npx novu init

Novu API

The Novu API was created to manage complex notification delivery use cases. It will be the platform for our future advanced features such as Digest, Scheduling, Time-zone awareness, etc. The API can be accessed from the @novu/node npm package for Node.js and other languages using the simple rest HTTP API accessed using an API key.

Notification management web interface

A brand new React-based web interface to manage your notification templates and monitor the activity of sent notifications. We are planning to add and upgrade the web interface on an ongoing basis, looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas!

Notification Center API

You can now add a real-time notification center to your web application, including real-time updates using socket.io. In addition, we provide a react notification center component and an iframe window for non-react apps. You can read more about it here.

Multi Environment Support

Based on the feedback from previous alpha releases, we have added support for multiple environments inside the web management site. You can make changes to your dev environment and then commit them to the Production Environment. So you can test your changes before pushing them to prod. Which is always a good thing to do, right? 😜

Integration Store

You can now select what email or SMS provider you will send notifications from. Check out the integrations page on the web management platform. New integrations are coming soon!

Moving from the old @novu/node or @notifire/node packages

The last versions below v0.4.0 only supported stateless and in-code notification template management. If you don't plan to use the Novu API and web management platform, you will need to download the @novu/stateless library, which has an identical API to the old package. Read more about the stateless library here.

What's next?

  • Improving documentation and usage guides
  • Visual Workflow Editor
  • Direct Channel
  • Push Channel
  • Digest Engine
  • and many more exciting features :)
