Notification

The Notification node sends alerts and notifications when the workflow runs. This is the primary way to notify users or external systems about workflow events.

Overview

The Notification node allows you to send alerts through configured notification channels when specific conditions are met or when workflows complete.

How It Works

1. Configure the notification settings (title, message, recipients)
2. Map workflow variables into the notification content
3. The notification is sent when the workflow executes

Configuration

Use Cases

• Alerts — Notify when thresholds are exceeded
• Status updates — Inform about workflow completion or failure
• Event notifications — Alert on specific device events
• Report delivery — Send generated reports to stakeholders

Example: Temperature Alert

Node: Notification
  Title: "High Temperature Alert"
  Message: "Device {device.name} temperature: {temperature}°C exceeds threshold"
  Priority: High

Best Practices

• Keep notification titles concise and informative
• Include relevant context in the message body
• Use variables to personalize notifications
• Set appropriate priority levels to avoid alert fatigue

Limitations

• Notification delivery depends on configured channels
• There may be rate limits on notification frequency
• Each workflow can use only one notification node per branch

Next Steps

Connect condition nodes before the Notification to control when alerts are sent, or follow with action nodes to automate responses.
