Purge old data
Is there a mechanism to purge or archive old data? Some companies have policies to archive old data after certain number of years so just wanted to check if Novu has a process to take care of it.

Hi @Ujwal
if you are using our managed solution, It can be purged on request.
Hi @Pawan Jain We are using self hosted Novu
Although we don't have a dedicated option to purge data by time.
But as you manage data in the case of self-hosting, you can purge data by time from DB manually
I thought with V14, Novu introduced a Data Expiration feature
I see this in the release notes
Yeah, I just found that
https://github.com/novuhq/novu/releases/tag/v0.14.0
is there any criteria for this data to be deleted after 1 month?
Hi @Ujwal ,at the moment self hosted can't override the expiration time amount. Only to disable the expiration.completely. It was discussed, we might add that in the future
Hi @galiainouz, we are good with the one month expiration time. Just wanted to know if there is any criteria for the data to be deleted and what all data is deleted?
all data in jobs, notifications and execution details scheme. For messages - all messages except in app
in app messages will be deleted after 12 months
got it. subscribers and templates data will still stay intact right?
Yes 🙂
