Hi There,

I am looking to create Workflow group and then in those groups, * *want to create workflows
so that,
when a new Subscriber is created I subscribe him to workflow group instead of each workflow

and also, if i add a new workflow later, i wont need to add subscriber to that workflow I will just add the workflow to the workflow group and all the subscribed users will get notifications.

I checked Create WOrkflow group page https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/workflow-groups/create-workflow-group
but how can i assign workflows and subscribers to this group?

Create workflow group - Novu

workflow group was previously named notification group

Hi @summer python
Currently, workflow group (notification group) does not have any use.

As you said, you wanted your users (subscribers) to subscribe to group instead of individual workflows, we are planning something like this in future.
But currently, subscriber have to manage preference for one workflow or global

@reef mountain Do you think I can use Topic for this purpose?
I didnt see any thing where i can add workflows to Topic also..
If Topic is just for bulk notifications then what is the use of Broadcast Trigger Notifications?
Dont they both solve the same purpose?

#

Adding further details to my use case:

  1. I want all the subscribers subscribed to notification group so that in future when i create new workflow (or even subscriber) i need not to worry about adding my subscriber to the workflow
    I will just add subscriber to workflow group and what ever future workflows are added ,my subscribers will keep getting notifications for them..

but now when i create a new subscriber , I have a hassle to

  1. add them to default workflows (by getting the workflow ID - assigning them as constants and subscribing users to it-looks like bad coding practice)

@reef mountain How soon is the Workflow group expected to release?

@summer python

May be there is some misunderstanding, Currently, all subscribers are subscribed to all new and existing workflows until subscribers change their preference themselves

summer python
#

@reef mountain In my use case, i need to set Email false by default until subscriber changes preference
So i call UpdatePreference as soon as the Subscriber is created
and I need workflowId for UpdatePreference() but this preference should be applicable to all workflows (in my use case)
and I have to explicitly (hard coded) provide the workflow Ids
I think i can call getAllWorkflows () and apply preference on the returned workflows instead of explicitly providing each workflowId

We added one feature of global subscriber preference

#

it will change channel preference for all workflows in one single api call

#

Will it work for your usecase
