About the Notifications API

The Notifications API enables you to trigger the sending of predefined notifications to Wix users.

With Notifications, you can trigger notifications that Wix users can receive:

• In the site feed on the Dashboard.
• In the Wix Owner app notification center.
• As a mobile push notification from the Wix Owner app.

Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

• You need to create a notification template in your app's dashboard before you can send notifications with the Notifications API.

  A notification template specifies the text and recipients for notifications. It can include both standard text and placeholders for dynamic values you provide when you send notifications using the Notifications API.

• An app can call the Notify method up to 100,000 times per month for each site.

Sample Use Cases

• Notify a Wix user when a customer makes a new room reservation using your app

Terminology

• Notification template: Specification of standard text, placeholders, and recipients for a particular type of notification. Created in your app's dashboard.
• Dynamic values: Text that replaces a notification template's placeholders when sending notifications from your code.
• Notification: An individual message sent to a Wix user by the Notifications API as part of a notification batch.
• Notification batch: All the notifications triggered by a single call to the Notify method.
