Create a Workflow and Trigger It

with Novu

Create an in-app workflow, then trigger it to a subscriber and verify.

  1. Create a new active workflow with a single in-app step. Novu returns 201 with the created workflow including its workflowId.
  2. Trigger the newly created workflow to the subscriber using the returned workflow identifier.
  3. List notification events filtered to the workflow's trigger identifier and subscriber to confirm the event was produced.
What you'll need to have ready
  • workflowId: The unique slug identifier to assign to the new workflow.
  • name: Display name of the workflow.
  • description: Optional description of the workflow.
  • stepName: Name for the single in-app step in the workflow.
  • subscriberId: Subscriber id to trigger the new workflow to.
  • payload: Custom payload object used to render the workflow.
