What’s new in Novu 2.1.0?

TL;DR: Preferences remodelling for 70% improvement in performance of Preference retrieval with an important database migration, 46% reduction in Docker image sizes, and more.

2.1.0 Release Updates

We're excited to share updated focussed on improving database and operational performance in our latest release. Join us as we reveal the improvements our team have been working on!

Preference remodelling and optimization

  • All Workflow & Subscriber preferences are now stored in a central Preferences collection to streamline preference retrieval for the <Inbox /> + Subscriber Preference API for a more performance subscriber preference management experience, and performance improvements of Worker engine during notification delivery
  • IMPORTANT: A mandatory database migration is required with this release to prepare for the removal of the SubscriberPreference collection and the NotificationTemplateRepository.{preferenceSettings,critical} property in a subsequent release. This data is migrated to a centralized Preference collection. Please visit the Data Migration documentation for more information on running the migration script. The following migration of data takes place:
    • Workflow preference (NotificationTemplate.preferenceSettings)
      • -> Preference record with type: 'WORKFLOW_RESOURCE' (for Code-First workflow support)
      • -> Preference record with type: 'USER_WORKFLOW' (for Dashboard/API user preference support)
    • Subscriber Global preference (SubscriberPreference with level: 'GLOBAL')
      • -> Preference record with type: 'SUBSCRIBER_GLOBAL'
    • Subscriber Workflow preference (SubscriberPreference with level: 'TEMPLATE')
      • -> Preference record with type: 'SUBSCRIBER_WORKFLOW'

Docker Image optimization for all applications

  • 46% reduction in Docker image sizes
  • Simplified COPY and RUN commands
  • Overall optimization of image structure
  • Replace external PM2 dependency for graceful shutdowns with native NestJS shutdown module

Support for Non-Root User (UID 1000)

In our continued effort to enhance security and compatibility in enterprise environments, we are proud to announce a significant update aimed at supporting systems with restricted root access.

Key Features:

  • Non-Root User Support: Novu now officially supports deployment under a non-root user with a fixed UID of 1000. This update is crucial for enterprise deployments on systems that enforce strict no-root policies, ensuring compliance with security best practices.
  • Seamless Integration: This enhancement facilitates smoother integration of Novu into secure environments, reducing the need for workarounds or exceptions in security policies.
  • Enhanced Security: Running Novu under a non-root user reduces potential security risks and aligns with the principle of least privilege, further safeguarding our notification infrastructure.

Getting Started:

No action is required from your side to take advantage of this update. The changes have been seamlessly integrated into Novu, ensuring that your enterprise deployments comply with non-root user policies without any additional configuration needed.

ARM Image Support

We're thrilled to share that Novu has officially introduced support for ARM images, marking a significant step in our dedication to embracing innovation and responsibility within the tech landscape. This development ensures that Novu stays ahead in the realm of notification infrastructure by broadening our platform's accessibility, compatibility, and sustainability.

Key Highlights:

  • ARM Architecture Support: Users can now deploy Novu on systems powered by ARM processors, benefiting from the efficiency and performance improvements that ARM architectures offer.
  • Optimized Performance: ARM support brings optimized performance for ARM-based deployments, ensuring faster and more efficient notification processing.

Getting Started with ARM Images:

To use Novu on an ARM-based system, simply pull the ARM-compatible Docker image from our registry. If you are on a not a ARM based system you can use the following command in docker to pull the image.

docker pull --platform linux/arm64 ghcr.io/novuhq/novu:v0.23.0

💡Note: Emulating ARM hardware may be slower then running an ARM image on ARM hardware.

Deprecation of Original Notifire Packages

Novu has evolved so much from when it was originally created. On the release of v0.24.0, we will be deprecating the original Notifire packages hosted on GitHub and any package within the @notifire namespace on NPM.

The following packages hosted on GitHub under the novuhq organization are scheduled for deprecation:

Deprecated Packages

  1. Notifire WebSocket Package (notifire/ws)
  2. Notifire Widget Package (notifire/widget)
  3. Notifire SDK Package (notifire/sdk)
  4. Notifire Web Package (notifire/web)
  5. Notifire API Package (notifire/api)

NPM Namespace Deprecation

All packages within the @notifire namespace on NPM are also scheduled for deprecation. This includes any package prefixed with @notifire/, ensuring a comprehensive and clear transition away from these older offerings.

Users currently relying on these deprecated packages should promptly transition to the official @novu packages.

Field-level Encryption to API Keys

We're security conscious at Novu. The API keys are now encrypted at rest in the database and hashed at rest in the cache.

We added this security feature to prevent direct use of the API key in the event of a database breach or bad actor trying to use the key with bad intentions.

Note: All existing API keys become encrypted through a data migration script for self-hosted users. Running the script more than once does not re-encrypt the api keys.

Bulk Delete Notifications in Notification Center

Users can now remove multiple notifications using an array of message ids (limit of 100) via the Notification center hooks and Headless library.

Notification Center Hook

const onSuccess = (data: IMessage) => {};

const onError = (error: Error) => {};

const { removeNotifications, isLoading, isError, error } = useRemoveNotifications({
  onSuccess,
  onError,
});

Headless Service

headlessService.removeNotifications({
  listener: (
    result: UpdateResult<IMessage, unknown, { messageId: string }>
  ) => {
    console.log(result);
  },
  onSuccess: (message: IMessage) => {
    console.log(message);
  },
  onError: (error: unknown) => {
    console.error(error);
  },
  messageIds: ["message_id_1", "message_id_2" ],
});

Rocket Chat Provider Integration

You can now send Chat messages via the Rocket Chat provider integration:

Brevo (SendInBlue) SMS Provider Integration

You can now send SMS messages via the Brevo SMS provider integration:

iSend SMS Provider Integration

You can now send SMS via the iSend sms provider integration:

CustomData Overrides for SMS

A customData overrides provider for SMS now exists. This property allows us to support provider specific configurations in future for SMS providers.

For now, it only supports DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) for the Gupshup SMS provider.

Trigger workflow with customData

novu.trigger("gupshup-workflow", {
  to: {
    subscriberId: "1234",
  },
  payload: {
    user: "Viraj",
  },
  overrides: {
    sms: {
      customData: {
        principalEntityId: "principal entity Id",
        dltTemplateId: "dlt template Id",
      },
    },
  },
});

Email Editor Variables Auto-suggestion Dropdown

We've made a little adjustment to the workflow email editor to enhance user experience by including auto-suggestions while adding variables.

This feature greatly minimizes the chance of selecting the wrong variable and having incorrect template content.

v0.22.0

What’s new in Novu 0.22?

TL;DR: All you need to know about the latest Novu 0.22.0 release. Multi-tenancy Variants, API Idempotency, API Rate Limiting, Filter conditional variables and more!

0.22 Release Updates

We're excited to highlight the newest features introduced in our latest release. Join us as we explore what awaits you!

image

Multi-tenancy Variants

Variants is an integral component of our multi-tenancy feature and aims to empower users to create multiple variants for a given workflow step, such as the Email step. These step variations are linked to specific conditions.

Within the multi-tenancy context, these conditions may pertain to tenants; for instance, if the tenant is named "Nike", a specific email variant will be chosen.

However, these conditions extend beyond tenants, allowing users to base their criteria on the trigger payload, subscriber data, or webhook data.

During the notification sending phase, the system’s logic will determine the appropriate variant based on the contextual information that was passed with the trigger event and the conditions applied to the variants. Only a single variant will be selected and sent to the user at the end.

Note: We have renamed the Filters functionality to Conditions.

variants

variants

Adding a variant to email step

In this gif above, we added a variant to our email step, thus making us have the root variant (with no condition) that will be sent if there's no tenant identifier specified, and a variant that will be sent if the tenant identifier is Nike.

Idempotency

To enhance the resilience and dependability of our API system, especially during disruptive scenarios like network interruptions, we have introduced the Idempotency headers to POST and PATCH HTTP methods within the API.

We have now granted users the ability to include Idempotency headers in their requests. A given operation will not be executed more than once, even if users resubmit the request following a perceived failure.

This guarantees that we process changes in a fail-safe manner, and the system caches the response for a day for future reference. This approach ensures that only valid and unique changes are processed, contributing to the overall robustness and reliability of our API system.

Note: Currently, the Idempotency headers are not enabled on the Novu cloud but functionality is available for self-hosting. We are currently integrating it into all of our SDKs as well.

Huge shoutout to @mahendraHegde for bringing in the Idempotency feature and to @michaldziuba03 for implementing the exponential retry mechanism in Node SDK! Your contribution rocks, much appreciated! 🙌

PRs:

API Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is an essential functionality for establishing a robust and resilient system. It safeguards system resources from being misused by malicious actors or being monopolized by one client.

It plays a vital role in sustaining consistent system performance by regulating traffic and preventing sudden increases that could degrade service quality.

Note: It's not currently enabled on Novu Cloud yet. We'll inform all users whenever we want to enable this option for all cloud users. If you're self-hosting, you can enable API rate limiting immediately with the IS_API_RATE_LIMITING_ENABLED flag in the environment variable.

PRs:

  • feat(application-generic, shared): Add Rate Limiting feature flag in #4667
  • feat(dal, shared, api): Add rate limit DAL attributes by @rifont in #4758
  • feat(api, shared): Add use cases to resolve an environment's api rate limit in #4774
  • chore(api, shared, app-generic): Convert API rate limit FF to be LaunchDarkly compatible in #4857

  • feat(api): Apply rate limit decorators to api controllers and methods in #4915
  • feat(api): Add variable-cost token bucket rate limiting algorithm in #4911

Variable Support in the Step Conditions aka Filters

The condition Value field now supports the use of variables as its value, enhancing the dynamic nature of this functionality.

variables_in_step_conditions

PRs:

  • feat: add support for variables in filter values #4724

Workflow Settings Override for tenants

The workflow settings override functionality allows to update the active and channel preferences fields on the workflow per tenant.

A good use case for this is the ability to have the following setting preferences enabled for all users, but you want them disabled for specific tenants. For example, you have about 3 tenants: Nike, Cloudinary and Eden. You can create a new settings override by passing the tenantId and workflowId, and your preferences.

We have implemented the set of the API endpoints that allow the following:

  • Creating, updating and deleting overrides,
  • List all overrides, or for one template.

override1

override2

Create new workflow settings overrides

override3

Update workflow settings overrides

PRs:

  • Stacked PR's of - Workflow override in #4773

Note: We are currently working on ensuring our SDKs have support for this functionality.

Event Cancellation from Digest

We have added a new API endpoint that allows the cancellation of any event from the digest.

digest

Note: We are currently updating all of our SDKs to support this new functionality.

PRs:

  • Feature: Ability to cancel any arbitrary events from digest in #4888

Resiliency and Performance Improvements

We have done some performance plumbing to improve the speed & resilience of the overall system. Our goal is to keep working on performance, reliability and resilience in every release.

Custom SMS Provider Integration

You can now send SMS messages using custom SMS providers using REST API. Do this by setting up the Generic SMS provider:

custom_sms

custom_sms2

MessageBird SMS Provider Integration

You can now send SMS messages via the MessageBird SMS provider integration:

messagebird

BulkSMS Provider Integration

What’s new in Novu 0.20?

TL;DR: All you need to know about the latest Novu 0.20.0 release. Global User Preferences, Integrations conditions, Digest and delay filters and more!

0.20 Release Updates

We're thrilled to announce the newest features in our most recent release. Let's get started and explore what's waiting for you!

https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/1jxs3nc6jp6abbjvis8i.gif

Global Channel Preferences for Subscribers API

It's now possible to set subscriber preferences globally for either a particular channel or all channels via API.

I'm really stoked about this because before now it was only available per workflow, /:subscriberId/preferences/:templateId

With these API URLs, you can fetch and update global subscriber preferences.

  • PATCH /subscribers/:subscriberid/preference - Update a subscriber preference globally.
  • GET /subscribers/:subscriberid/preferences/global - Fetch a subscriber preference globally.

Note: These methods are also available in the NodeJS SDK. They will be available in other language SDKs very soon.

If you're using the Headless service and Notification Center Widgets, you can set or fetch via the following APIs:

  • widgets/preferences - PATCH : Update subscriber preferences globally
{

    "enabled": true,
    "preferences": [
        {
            "type": "in_app",
            "enabled": true
        },
        {
            "type": "email",
            "enabled": false
        }
    ]
}
  • widgets/preferences/global - GET : Fetch subscriber preferences globally.

The exposed methods from the widgets are:

  • fetchUserGlobalPrereferences
  • updateUserGlobalPreferences

Note: If a workflow is marked as critical, the subscriber global preferences will be ignored, and notifications will be sent.

Filters Usage in Digest and Delay Nodes

Users can now add filters to the digest and delay nodes inside the workflow editor to dynamically control if a digest should be used or not.

Digest Node: Adding filter

Delay Node: Adding filter

Improved Error Messages In The Workflow Editor

We have improved the error icons and states for each node in the workflow, when no provider is connected or not configured.

SMS & Email Custom Data Overrides

We now support adding custom data in email overrides as shown below:

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu('<NOVU_API_KEY>');

await novu.subscribers.trigger("workflowIdentifier", {
  to: "subscriberId",
  payload: {
    customKey: "customValue",
  },
  overrides: {
    email: {
      from: "support@novu.co",
      // customData will work only for sendgrid
      customData: {
        "customKey": "customValue"
      }
    }
  }
}

Email Custom Data overrides

Note: This works for Sendgrid only at the moment.

You can override sms values via the code below.

...
...
await novu.subscribers.trigger("workflowIdentifier", {
  to: "subscriberId",
  payload: {
    customKey: "customValue",
  },
  overrides: {
    sms: {
      to: "<insert-phone-number>",
      content: "<insert-content>"
    }
  }
}

SMS Overrides

Enabling The Addition of Conditions to Integrations

Users can now create conditions for the channel integrations to be executed for specific tenants only.

https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/c4j4ioad8tjqljy3qzqx.png

https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/o187yxcsmtgfgq7a7gyp.png

In the image above, you can add the condition (to an integration) to state that the integration should be used if the tenant identifier used in trigger matches the tenant identifier set here.

Note: The integrations are the provider instances on the Integration store dashboard.

When Novu runs a trigger code with a tenant Identifier attached to it like so:

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu(process.env.NOVU_API_KEY);

await novu.trigger('<WORKFLOW_TRIGGER_ID>',
  {
    to: {
      subscriberId: '<UNIQUE_SUBSCRIBER_IDENTIFIER>',
      email: 'john@doemail.com',
    },
   tenant: "tenantIdentifier"
  }
);

..Novu runs checks on the integrations in the Integration store to determine which integration matches to be used to send the notification based on any condition that has been set. If nothing was set, it defaults to the primary provider set for the channel used in the workflow.

Mailtrap Email Provider Integration

Now, you can use the Mailtrap Email provider on Novu.

https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/fb9pmn5xu3ep6f8lcpq3.png

Clicksend SMS Provider Integration

Now, you can use the Clicksend SMS provider on Novu.

v0.19.0

What’s new in Novu 0.19?

TL;DR: All you need to know about the latest Novu 0.19.0 release. Multi-tenancy management, bulk subscriber creation, override layouts and more!

0.19 Release Updates

We're eager to showcase the latest features in our most recent release. Let's dive in and discover what's in store for you!

giphy (2) (1)

Multi-tenancy Management

We are stoked to let you know that you can now manage tenants from the UI (Novu’s dashboard) and the API.

tenants-management (1)

Self-hosted users need to add and turn on the IS_MULTI_TENANCY_ENABLED env flag to be able to manage tenants in their Novu installation.

Tenants Usage in Workflows as Variables

With tenants feature now generally available, there are different ways you’ll be able to use it in your app depending on your use case.

One of those ways is using it as variables in your workflows and triggers. When triggering a notification using the events trigger endpoint, you can pass in a tenant property as a parameter like so:

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu(process.env.NOVU_API_KEY);

await novu.trigger('<WORKFLOW_TRIGGER_ID>',
  {
    to: {
      subscriberId: '<UNIQUE_SUBSCRIBER_IDENTIFIER>',
      email: 'john@doemail.com',
      firstName: 'John',
      lastName: 'Doe',
    },
    payload: {
      name: "Hello World",
      organization: {
        logo: 'https://happycorp.com/logo.png',
      },
    },
	 actor: "actorId"
   tenant: "tenantIdentifier"
  }
);

passing in tenant property when triggering a notification

The tenant can also be accessed in a workflow template like so:

{{ tenant.data.logo }}

accessing tenant properties in a workflow

Bulk Subscriber Creation

This release also ships the wildly requested “bulk subscriber creation.” Starting v0.19, you’ll be able to create subscribers in bulk (up to 500 at once) using an API endpoint.

Note: The bulk API is limited to 500 subscribers per request.

await novu.subscribers.bulkCreate([
      {
        subscriberId: 'test-subscriber-1',
        email: 'test-user@sd.com',
        firstName: 'subscriber-1',
        lastName: 'test-1',
      },
      {
        subscriberId: 'test-subscriber-2',
        email: 'test-user-2@sd.com',
        firstName: 'subscriber-2',
        lastName: 'test-2',
      },
      {
        subscriberId: 'test-subscriber-3',
      },
    ]);

Addition of Tags in Workflow Settings

We have added the ability to use tags in the workflow settings screen.

This change allows use cases where you need to group multiple workflows under the same tag, and then use it to filter subscriber preferences for example.

taggs-workflow-settings (1)

Allow Override layout On Trigger

To override your assigned layout during a trigger event use the layoutIdentifier property, the layout specified will be used for all emails in the context of that trigger event.

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu('<NOVU_API_KEY>');

novu.trigger('workflow-identifier', {
  to: {
    subscriberId: '...',
  },
  payload: {
    attachments: [
      {
        file: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/data/test.jpeg'),
        name: 'test.jpeg',
        mime: 'image/jpg',
      },
    ],
  },
  overrides: {
    layoutIdentifier: 'your-layout-identifier',
  },
});

Show Primary Providers on Workflow Nodes

Now you can see the primary provider of a channel in the nodes that show on the workflow editor. This gives you more context and better identification without extra clicks!

Enhanced Workflow Nodes Misconfiguration Error

Nodes and workflows will now display mis-configured workflows on the dashboard like so:

v0.18.0

What’s new in Novu 0.18?

TL;DR: All you need to know about the latest Novu 0.18.0 release. General Layout design, multi-provider configuration and more!

0.18 Release Updates

We're excited to unveil the freshest developments in our latest release. Let's plunge right in and uncover what awaits you!

General Layout Design

We have refreshed the layout design to accommodate and provide a foundation for a lot of upcoming future updates regarding the navigation stack and general usability of the system.

Multi-provider Configuration

In the last update, I mentioned that Novu now supports multiple providers.

Now you can specify who should be the primary provider when you have multiple providers for a particular channel for a given environment. As mentioned in the last release, you can programmatically call a provider identifier during a trigger event.

await novu.trigger("<workflow_trigger_id>", {
  to: {...},
  payload: {...},
  overrides: {
    email: { integrationIdentifier: 'the identifier"} ,
    sms: { integrationIdentifier: 'the identifier"}
  }
});

Migration for Self-hosted Novu Users - BREAKING CHANGE

A migration needs to be run prior to the new version update:

cd apps/api
npm run migration:primary-provider

# .env file in apps/api/src/.env should have a MONGO_URL pointing to your deployment

Plunk Email Provider Integration

Now, you can use the Plunk Email provider on Novu.
