Notifications API
Introduction
OQ's notifications enable you to notify your users or user groups on various channels.
To notify your users you can use the notify() API. It's important to use the same key which you set to the notification template.
Mutations
notify()
This endpoint is only available from the server side of your application.
The notify() mutation enables you to notify:
- A single user or multiple users
- Users of one or multiple user groups
- All of your users.
You can find the full API doc of this mutation here (opens in a new tab).
The API requires a key parameter that you need to configure in ROQ Console, see instructions here. There are two ways to notify users: with GraphQL query and Node.js SDK
The notified users are defined in the recipients property or variable as shown below:
mutation {
notify(
notification: {
key: "aaa"
recipients: {
userIds: ["abc123"]
userGroups: { operator: AND, userGroupIds: ["xyz789"] }
excludedUserIds: ["abc123"]
allUsers: false
}
data: [{ key: "xyz789", value: "xyz789" }]
}
) {
usersNotified {
count
}
}
}
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| key | string | Key of notification-type that you created in the Console, eg."WELCOME_NOTIFICATION" |
| recipients:userIds | array | Array of user IDs that are notified. |
| recipients:userGroups | object | An object that represents a list of user groups and an operator which can be set to "AND"(intersection of users) and "OR" (union of users). |
| recipients:excludedUserIds | array | List of user IDs (of ROQ Platform) who shouldn't be notified. A typical use case is when a user performs an action and all users of the same user group should be notified, except for the acting user |
| recipients:allUsers | bool | If set to true then all users will be notified. |
| data | array | List of key/value pairs that you can use in the content section of the Notification template |
