notification group/ workflow group- adding workflows, subscribers to the group
Hi There,
I am looking to create Workflow group and then in those groups, * *want to create workflows
so that,
when a new Subscriber is created I subscribe him to workflow group instead of each workflow
and also, if i add a new workflow later, i wont need to add subscriber to that workflow I will just add the workflow to the workflow group and all the subscribed users will get notifications.
I checked Create WOrkflow group page https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/workflow-groups/create-workflow-group
but how can i assign workflows and subscribers to this group?

Hi @Saruchi
Currently, workflow group (notification group) does not have any use.
As you said, you wanted your users (subscribers) to subscribe to group instead of individual workflows, we are planning something like this in future.
But currently, subscriber have to manage preference for one workflow or global
@Pawan Jain Do you think I can use Topic for this purpose?
I didnt see any thing where i can add workflows to Topic also..
If Topic is just for bulk notifications then what is the use of Broadcast Trigger Notifications?
Dont they both solve the same purpose?
Adding further details to my use case:
1. I want all the subscribers subscribed to notification group so that in future when i create new workflow (or even subscriber) i need not to worry about adding my subscriber to the workflow
I will just add subscriber to workflow group and what ever future workflows are added ,my subscribers will keep getting notifications for them..
but now when i create a new subscriber , I have a hassle to
1. add them to default workflows (by getting the workflow ID - assigning them as constants and subscribing users to it-looks like bad coding practice)
@Pawan Jain How soon is the Workflow group expected to release?
@Saruchi
May be there is some misunderstanding, Currently, all subscribers are subscribed to all new and existing workflows until subscribers change their preference themselves
Read more about preference here
https://docs.novu.co/subscribers/preferences
@Pawan Jain In my use case, i need to set Email false by default until subscriber changes preference
So i call UpdatePreference as soon as the Subscriber is created
and I need workflowId for UpdatePreference() but this preference should be applicable to all workflows (in my use case)
and I have to explicitly (hard coded) provide the workflow Ids
I think i can call getAllWorkflows () and apply preference on the returned workflows instead of explicitly providing each workflowId
We added one feature of global subscriber preference
it will change channel preference for all workflows in one single api call
Will it work for your usecase
Sorry which version is this? I have a use-case where I ask users for consent to receive emails and if they don't give consent, I want to globally disable email sending for that user. Is that already possible?
@Osama Sayed
it was added with version 0.20.0
