Version v0.6.0 introduces so many long-awaited features such as: Digest Engine, multi-tab support on notification center, notifications actions and so many other improvements and bug fixes. This release is the hard work of more 16 individual contributors and collaborators that made this version possible.

Digest Engine

The digest engine collects multiple trigger events and aggregates them into a single message delivered to the subscriber in form of an email, ,in-app notification or any other supported novu channel.

This becomes useful when a user needs to be notified on a large number of triggers, and you want to avoid sending too many notifications. Novu will automatically batch the incoming trigger events based on the subscriberId and an optional digestKey that can be added to control the digestion of the events.

Here is an overview of the digest flow, including both supported strategies: Regular and Backoff.

To learn more about the digest engine and the additional strategies and usage guide, visit our docs page here.

Notification Actions

Now, creating an even richer experience with the novu notification center is possible, and adding action buttons to a dedicated notification template. Subscribers can make interactions such as accepting invites or friend requests from the notification center without navigating to a different URL.

Multiple notification feeds

It is now possible to configure multiple feed configurations for various notification center templates. The feeds created can be used to fetch notifications for each feed separately. This can help to achieve a multi-tab experience for subscribers depending on the actual use-cases.
