How to use Notifications API

Get NotificationApi object

api.notificationApi()

https://developer.pricefx.eu/pricefx-api/groovy/stagingmaster/net/pricefx/server/dto/calculation/notification/NotificationApi.html

NotificationApi provides builder-like pattern to build notification, when all is set, call send() on it.

Set desired properties

Recipient

.withRecipient(api.user("loginName"))

There always has to be some recipient involved. You can specify a single user by its ID or login name. Or you can specify a list of users based either on IDs or login names.

• .withRecipient(Long id)

• .withRecipient(String loginName)

• .withRecipient(List<Long> ids)

• .withRecipientLogin(List<String> loginNames)

Other possibility possibilities to set recipients are via user groups with similar inputs, group’s uniqueName, or ID.

• .withUserGroupId(Long id)

• .withUserGroupId(List<Long> ids)

• .withUserGroupUqName(String uniqueName)

• .withUserGroupUqName(List<String> uniqueNames)

Title

.withTitle("New actionable insight found")

Message

.withMessage("Dashboards identified an Opportunity for you. ")

Status

.withInfoStatus()

In this example INFO status is set for current notification.

...

• INFO

  • .withInfoStatus()

  • Provide additional information to users that may not be tied to their current action or task
    Does not require immediate action and can be dismissed on a timer or persist, depending on the content

• SUCCESS

  • .withSuccessStatus()

  • Confirm a task was completed as expected
    Typically do not require further action and can be dismissed automatically or persist in a nonintrusive manner

• WARNING

  • .withWarningStatus()

  • Inform users that they are taking actions that are not desirable or might have unexpected results
    Often persist until the user dismisses the notification or continues in their task

• ERROR

  • .withErrorStatus()

  • Inform users of an error or critical failure, and optionally block the user from proceeding until the issue has been resolved
    Always persist until the user dismisses them or resolves error
