Integration Guides
Novu provides various ways to integrate with external services to trigger notification workflows. Here are the main integration approaches:Use case guides
Transactional notifications
Send order confirmations, payment alerts, and account notifications through Novu workflows.
Password reset alerts
Build password reset and authentication alert workflows with email and in-app channels.
Digest notifications
Batch notifications into summaries such as “10 new comments on your post.”
Multi-channel fallback
Send in-app first, then email or SMS if the message remains unread.
Webhook Integration Guides
Webhooks enable real-time event-driven communication between applications, making integrations more efficient and responsive. In Novu, webhooks trigger notification workflows whenever specific events occur in external applications. This ensures notifications are delivered exactly when they’re needed, keeping users informed without delay. For example, when a user signs up via Clerk or completes a payment through Stripe, a webhook delivers the event payload to Novu, which then processes it and triggers the appropriate workflow. This allows for real-time notifications—whether it’s a welcome email, payment confirmation SMS, or in-app alert—without the need for constant polling, ensuring efficiency and a seamless user experience.
Clerk
Use Clerks webhooks events to trigger authentication related notifications workflows.
Auth0
Trigger Novu workflows from Auth0 signup, password reset, and security events.
Stripe
Use Stripe webhooks events to trigger payment related notifications workflows.
Analytics & Data Platform Integrations
Some integrations use different mechanisms than webhooks to send data to Novu. For example, analytics and data platforms often use custom destinations or functions to forward events.Segment
Use Segment’s Destination Functions to forward user events and traits to trigger notification workflows.
Workflow Automation Platform Integrations
Workflow automation platforms help orchestrate complex business processes and event-driven workflows. Integrating Novu with these platforms allows you to trigger notifications as part of your automated workflows.Inngest
Use Inngest’s event-driven workflows to trigger notifications at specific steps in your automation pipeline.
Trigger.dev
Leverage Trigger.dev’s developer-friendly workflow engine to send notifications based on scheduled or event-driven triggers.
