Help regarding workflows

hey, so I was going through workkflows and don't really get the idea behind it? Is it supposed to be indiviual workflows for each?

for example I can see one usecase where rn in my app I have two different type of users (paid, non paid) so should I create workflows differently for those?

Hi @acronie Workflow is the sequence in which notification will be sent.

acronieOP•11mo ago

hmmmm ic that'll be useful for quickstart and stuff but not otherwise right

novu
        .trigger("employer", {
          to: {
            subscriberid: user.id,
          },
          payload: {},
        })
        .catch((e) => console.log("error", e));

novu
        .trigger("employer", {
          to: {
            subscriberid: user.id,
          },
          payload: {},
        })
        .catch((e) => console.log("error", e));

also this keeps on returning workflow not found

acronieOP•11mo ago

acronieOP•11mo ago

it shows this but it's meant to be in-app only

acronieOP•11mo ago

it shows this tho

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Do you see ay error in developer console? Is application integration correct?

acronieOP•11mo ago

nah

acronieOP•11mo ago

Can I not somehow abstract my notifications into one group for example if I want notis just for a particular user type abstract them under user_type_* or do i need to manually create workflows for every action like this

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Would you like to share the usecase when you want to send notifications?

acronieOP•11mo ago

like I have different user types ADMIN, FREE, PAID so like group them workflows together

Novu_Bot•11mo ago

@acronie, you just advanced to level 2!

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Users can be grouped in topics https://docs.novu.co/subscribers/topics and then workflow can be triggered to that group of users (topic) https://docs.novu.co/subscribers/topics#trigger-workflow-to-a-topic

acronieOP•11mo ago

mhm not grouping user since everyone is gonna have indiviual notis but grouping workflows if it makes sense?

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Everyone will receive individual notifications

acronieOP•11mo ago

mhm got it

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Ohh! Grouping workflows is currently not suported

acronieOP•11mo ago

what is this tho?

acronieOP•11mo ago

is it supposed to be the redirect uri on click? is it relative to host name or what

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

@acronie you can use any path url here and then need to configure notification clicked event in code Checkout this doc:- https://docs.novu.co/notification-center/client/react/get-started#onnotificationclick @acronie did you get chance to check above docs?

acronieOP•11mo ago

checking it out Thanks

Pawan Jain•11mo ago

Did it work for you?

acronieOP•11mo ago

Haven't put it into implementation yet But should work from the looks of it 😄

Pawan Jain•11mo ago
