API de notificaciones

Envía una notificación a la bandeja de entrada de un usuario, con entrega push opcional por APNs a sus dispositivos.

Create Notification

POST /notifications

Create an in-app notification and optionally push it to all user devices. No subscription required — it counts toward your monthly notification quota (free tier included) and needs the notifications capability, which your default integration key already has.

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`title`	string	Yes	Notification title
`body`	string	Yes	Notification body text
`subtitle`	string	No	Optional subtitle
`level`	string	No	`passive`, `active` (default), `time-sensitive`, or `critical`. Controls iOS interruption level.
`volume`	number	No	Sound volume for critical alerts (0.0–1.0). Only used when level is `critical`. Defaults to 1.0.
`thread_id`	string	No	Groups notifications in Notification Center
`collapse_id`	string	No	APNs deduplication key (max 64 chars). Not stored or returned in responses.
`source`	string	No	Source identifier (e.g. integration name)
`source_display_name`	string	No	Human-readable source name shown in notification settings and inbox grouping
`url`	string	No	Action URL (max 2048 chars, must start with `http://` or `https://`)
`media`	object	No	Rich media attachment. `url` (HTTPS, max 2048 chars) plus `type` (`image`, `video`, or `audio`). iOS renders inline. Apple size caps: image 10 MB, audio 5 MB, video 50 MB.
`actions`	array	No	Up to 10 dynamic action buttons. Each: `id` (string, max 64), `title` (string, max 64), optional `url`, `foreground` (bool), `destructive` (bool), `authentication_required` (bool), `icon` (SF Symbol name).
`icon_url`	string	No	Per-notification source avatar, shown as the Communication Notification avatar on iOS. Accepts `http` or `https` (max 2048 chars, recommended ≤256×256 and ≤100 KB; the iOS extension rejects responses larger than 512 KB).
`metadata`	object	No	Key-value string pairs (max 20 keys, key max 64 chars, value max 4096 chars)
`activity_slug`	string	No	Optional link to an existing activity. An unknown slug is rejected with `422` before the notification is persisted.
`push`	boolean	No	If `true` (default), send APNs rich alert to all user devices. Set `false` to store in the inbox only.

ℹ Información

By default, every notification is delivered as an APNs push to the user's devices. Set push: false to store the notification in the inbox without triggering an alert.

On POST /notifications only, the response also includes two read-only fields describing the APNs fan-out outcome (omitted from GET responses):

Field	Values	Meaning
`delivery`	`all`, `partial`, `none`	Whether every, some, or no devices accepted the push.
`reason`	`no_apns_token`, `apns_rejected`, `push_disabled`	Failure mode when `delivery` is not `all`. Empty on success; omitted entirely when `push: false`.

Error Responses

Errors follow RFC 9457 Problem Details with Content-Type: application/problem+json. See the canonical Errors section for the body shape and known code values.

Status	Meaning
`400`	Malformed JSON or wrong shape (semantic validation now uses `422`)
`401`	Missing or invalid token
`403`	Integration key lacks the `notifications` capability flag (insufficient permissions)
`422`	Unknown `activity_slug`, or other semantic validation failure
`429`	Per-IP rate limit (`code: rate_limit.exceeded`) or monthly notification quota exhausted (`code: quota.exceeded`) — pairs with `Retry-After` and `retry_after_ms`. See Errors for the quota body shape.
`500`	Internal server error
