Using Subscriber in Topic trigger

Hi, When triggering a topic, is it possible to access the subscriberId and firstname? Trying to send an e-mail every week to all subscribers using a topic but want to include the firstName in the e-mail.

@christian Yes subscriberId and firstname can be used when triggering to a topic. Internally novu fanout the trigger request to subscribers of topic. Are you using @novu/framework based workfllows?

yes this is my workflow

import { renderEmail } from "@kickstarted/email/emails/top-recipes";
import { workflow } from "@novu/framework";
import { TriggerEvents, topWeeklyPayloadSchema } from "../schemas";

export const topRecipesWorkflow = workflow(
  TriggerEvents.TopWeekly,
  async ({ step, payload, subscriber }) => {
    const recipes = JSON.parse(payload.recipes ?? "[]");
    const userId = subscriber.subscriberId ?? "";
    const userFirstName = subscriber.firstName ?? "";

    await step.email("weekly-top-recipes", async () => {
      const emailBody = await renderEmail(recipes, userId, userFirstName);
      return {
        subject: "Top recipes last week",
        body: emailBody,
      };
    });
  },
  {
    payloadSchema: topWeeklyPayloadSchema,
  },
);

import { renderEmail } from "@kickstarted/email/emails/top-recipes";
import { workflow } from "@novu/framework";
import { TriggerEvents, topWeeklyPayloadSchema } from "../schemas";

export const topRecipesWorkflow = workflow(
  TriggerEvents.TopWeekly,
  async ({ step, payload, subscriber }) => {
    const recipes = JSON.parse(payload.recipes ?? "[]");
    const userId = subscriber.subscriberId ?? "";
    const userFirstName = subscriber.firstName ?? "";

    await step.email("weekly-top-recipes", async () => {
      const emailBody = await renderEmail(recipes, userId, userFirstName);
      return {
        subject: "Top recipes last week",
        body: emailBody,
      };
    });
  },
  {
    payloadSchema: topWeeklyPayloadSchema,
  },
);

Are you facing any issue with above code? it should work

christianOP•3w ago

yes userid and firstname is empty, I will try to debug it to see if there's anything in the subscriber object I think it's working and the problem was on my side 🙂 btw: get subscriber api
