Unsure about how novu works
I used Novu quite some time back and I'm now reimplementing things on a different product. The flow to trigger a custom made template seems a lot more complicated and requires a lot of steps compared to the previous versions, so I want to double check that I am not missing something.
My goal is to have a layout in which I want to inject variables. variables should support looping over a list and rendering links. The default template builder does not seem to support this.
As per the onboarding I'm following the studio approach, but I don't get why the bridge endpoint needs to be ran on my api?
I drew out a "flow" chart of how I saw the old version and the new version of getting a notification to be sent. The updated version means that I not only need to update novu to have the workflow and my code to trigger a workflow but also my own api to support the bridge endpoint of that workflow and there is no way around it?

Your flow chart is spot on.

@novu/framework workflows,
I don't get why the bridge endpoint needs to be ran on my api?Novu uses this public URL to hyderate the workflow in your cloud. You could have used any custom step or fetched data in your environment. In new dashboard, custom email templates are currently not supported but its in our roadmap
Is there a way to skip the hydration and still have the react email framework to create templates?
Unfortunately, No
