A notification is a message sent to a recipient about an event. Notifications can be:
  • Direct: Sent to a specific recipient.
  • Broadcast: Sent to all recipients subscribed to a target.
Notifications include a payload (custom data) and are categorized by their target. A direct notification will always be delivered to the recipient unless the recipient has unsubscribed that target. A broadcast notification will only be delivered to the recipients who are subscribed to the target.

How does Bodhveda determine if a recipient should receive a broadcast notification or not?

Let’s assume a broadcast was sent for a new comment that was made on post with id 12345. The target used for this broadcast is posts:12345:new_comment. Bodhveda will lookup recipients who have subscribed to this target via either posts:12345:new_comment or via posts:any:new_comment target. any has special behaviour in Bodhveda.
