Set Subscriber Preferences Then Notify

with Novu

Retrieve subscriber, set their channel preferences, then trigger a workflow.

  1. Retrieve the subscriber by id to confirm they exist before changing their preferences.
  2. Patch the subscriber's channel preferences for the supplied workflow so the upcoming trigger respects their channel choices.
  3. Trigger the workflow to the subscriber; delivery honors the preferences set in the previous step.
What you'll need to have ready
  • subscriberId: The identifier of the subscriber.
  • workflowId: The workflow identifier whose preferences to set and trigger.
  • channels: Channel toggles (email, sms, in_app, push, chat) as booleans for the subscriber's preferences on this workflow.
  • payload: Custom payload object used to render the workflow.
For your developer
