FAQs

An event is is every call to our trigger API. Any call can be converted through Novu logic engine into many different notification or digested with other ones into one notification. In case a trigger was used for many subscribers at once, it will be calculated per unique subscriber. In case many events are converted into one notification they will be calculated at a lower rate.

A notification is any message sent over any channel, after Novu logic engine, Novu user preferences, and you configuration calculated and crafted the message. A notification can be sent to an email, In-App notification center, chat, push, and more.

Sure thing! This can easily be done using Novu’s digest + delay, features allowing of ingesting many events into well crafted must have messages over all channels.

We have two main public support channel, Discrod and Intercom. Discord is our community support channel supporting anything between self-hosted issues, bugs, code contributions, general discussions, feature requested, Novu-Cloud questions, and don’t forget memes :) On our Intercom support we focus on Novu-Cloud questions, and is ensure we can provide the best support based on our knowledge of Cloud usage.

Glad you want to see what’s next, our roadmap is run over a Github Project here. Feel free to suggest other things and upvote features and requests.

Yes it does, Novu In-App notification center is built using pure HTML components, and wrapped in your most beloved frameworks wrapper to provide a nice and consistent developer experience.

As part of our enterprise support, you’ll get our usual support channels as well as a Microsoft Teams/Slack/Discord channel. In case you want to add an enterprise support plan, with dedicated technical support, we are happy to offer that next to an active enterprise plan.

We sure can. We are happy to work with enterprises and build Novu to support both their needs as well as the grand community ones. From new features, security, and privacy, or if you need to send dozens or hundreds of events a month, we are here to help. Feel free to reach out to us over Chat, or send us an email at sales@novu.co.

Code examples can be found on our Github Repo, and our documentation.

You sure can, if you just want to ask for a new one, easiest way is to go to our Github issues, and ask for a new one, just make sure if there is another request you upvote it instead of creating a new one. If you are willing to contribute a provider just go to how to contribute one on our docs, thank you!

Yes we do, check it out here.

We are now building an automatic tool to help with this migration process, for now feel free to ask us over Discord, or at engineering@novu.co.

To follow up on our progress for this and other features you can check our public roadmap:

We regularly work with big companies and are happy to help and support you with guidance, and various compliances including reports to ease your security and legal team. If you have very complicated PII needs, you can use our OS version, Novu Hybrid-Cloud enterprise plan, or reach out to us at sales@novu.co, or our support, or Discord.

Sure thing, as part of our GDPR compliance we have our cloud version available on both EU (Frankfurt), as well as US (Virginia).

Not exactly, to keep data residency intact we cannot simply copy or move data between data warehouses across US and EU. You can open up another organization on the other region, but data is not transferable.

Yes, you can see the full compliance report in our security page. Novu also deiced to take the extra step and provide for separated data residency on both EU and US.

Yes, Novu Cloud is SOC 2 Type II compliant, we have made sure to do penetration tests, security training, evidence collection, and SDL. You can see live control updated on our security page, and ask for our security report as well.

Yes, Novu Cloud is ISO27001 compliant, we have made sure to go through both Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, fully define ISMS requirement. From fully creating our organization processes, defining organization risk assessment polices, and building organization Incident Response & Disaster Recovery plans.

Based on selected solution there are a couple of options. On the OS option based on where you choose to store it :) As to Novu Cloud solution you can choose EU (Frankfurt) or US (Virginia). In case you are working on Novu Hybrid-Cloud solution we will help you deploy the your data inside your select network.

We sure do! First of all we promise uptime SLA for our cloud system for 99.99%. We also offer an initial 2 days support SLA, but most enquiries on our Intercom or Discord get a response in a couple of hours. For our enterprise plan we can offer upgraded SLA as part of the commercial contract.

Yes, you can. If you send less than 10K events per month, then Novu Cloud is entirely free. Another option is to deploy the Open-Source version of Novu onto your own infrastructure, but that does not give you the unique SLA and global redundancy we have in the Cloud version of Novu.

Pricing page is available here.

We plan to convert to the paid version of Novu sometime between Q2 and Q4 of 2023. We will ensure that we contact all of our customers at least x months before the switch so that you have plenty of time to ensure your systems are not impacted.

That’s a great way to do it, sending many events and only hand full of notifications means you are able to convey a lot of value, while keeping your subscribers happy. We are not only supporting, it’s also affecting price. On high volume events to notification, where digest is heavily used each event is calculated as 1/10 of the normal usage.

Thank you so much for this. As we are growing we do have a where you can see open positions.
