Novu Framework is currently in public Alpha. Need help? Have a suggestion? Join our Discord community.
Introduction to Novu Framework
Novu Framework allows you to write notification workflows in your codebase. Workflows are functions that execute business logic and use your preferred libraries for email, SMS, and chat generation. You can use Novu Framework with React.Email, MJML, or any other template generator.
Try it now
To create a new Bridge application that will allow you to define your workflow in code, open your terminal and execute the create-novu-app command.
npx create-novu-app@latest --api-key=<API_KEY_HERE>
The command will ask you if you wish to install from a React.Email template or a clean project.
Core features
Bring Your Own Code
Write the notification workflows as functions in your codebase, version, and manage them using Git.
Limitless Integrations
Use React.email, MJML, or fetch templates from Braze, Hubspot, Sendgrid, and more…
Type Safety
Bring your own schemas for full, end-to-end validation and type safety.
Cloud Synchronization
Sync your workflows with Novu Cloud and ease collaboration.
How it Works?
Novu Framework introduces a new paradigm when working with Novu. Rather than defining workflows and templates at Novu Cloud, Novu Framework enables you to work in your application, use your own libraries and connect to your production environment during workflow execution over HTTPS.
The Novu Framework exports the client you use to define and serve your workflows and their steps over HTTPS. The workflows can be added to your preferred framework. During workflow execution Novu Cloud makes HTTPS requests to your Bridge server for just-in-time Content and Subscribers resolution.
For Non-Technical Users
Novu Framework was built with non-technical user in mind. Engineers can write complex workflows and expose a type-safe Inputs interface powered by JSON-Schema. This enables Non-Technical teammates to safely modify the workflow without breaking mission critical notifications.
