## Web Push Notifications ## Email Notifications
The plugin supports web push notifications for PWA and mobile browser users. You can add email functionality to notifications using the `collectionOverrides` option. This allows you to add custom hooks to the notifications collection without modifying the plugin code.
### Anonymous Notifications Support ### Using Collection Overrides
For scenarios where you need to send notifications to anonymous users or have custom recipient logic (e.g., notifications based on email addresses, phone numbers, or custom identifiers), you can use the `findSubscriptions` hook combined with custom fields. The key is to preserve existing hooks (like web push) while adding your own:
**Example: Email-based notifications**
```typescript ```typescript
import { notificationsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications'
notificationsPlugin({ notificationsPlugin({
// Add custom email field to notifications collection channels: [{ id: 'default', name: 'Default' }],
fields: [ collectionOverrides: {
{ notifications: (config) => ({
name: 'recipientEmail', ...config,
type: 'email', hooks: {
label: 'Recipient Email', ...config.hooks, // Preserve existing hooks (web push, etc.)
admin: { afterChange: [
description: 'Email address of the notification recipient', ...(config.hooks?.afterChange || []), // Preserve existing afterChange hooks
}, // Add your custom email hook
} async ({ doc, operation, req }) => {
], if (operation === 'create') {
webPush: { // Your email logic here
enabled: true, }
autoPush: true, }
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY, ]
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY, }
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com', })
// Custom hook to find subscriptions based on email
findSubscriptions: async (notification, payload) => {
if (!notification.recipientEmail) return []
// Find push subscriptions associated with this email
const subscriptions = await payload.find({
collection: 'push-subscriptions',
where: {
and: [
{ recipientEmail: { equals: notification.recipientEmail } },
{ isActive: { equals: true } },
// Channel filtering (if specified)
...(notification.channel ? [{
or: [
{ channels: { contains: notification.channel } },
{ channels: { contains: 'all' } },
{ channels: { exists: false } },
]
}] : [])
]
}
})
return subscriptions.docs
}
} }
}) })
``` ```
**Example: Phone number-based notifications** ### Example: Custom Email Service
```typescript ```typescript
import { notificationsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications'
import { sendEmail } from './your-email-service'
import { renderNotificationEmail } from './email-templates'
notificationsPlugin({ notificationsPlugin({
fields: [ channels: [{ id: 'default', name: 'Default' }],
{ collectionOverrides: {
name: 'recipientPhone', notifications: (config) => ({
type: 'text', ...config,
label: 'Recipient Phone', hooks: {
admin: { ...config.hooks,
description: 'Phone number of the notification recipient', afterChange: [
}, ...(config.hooks?.afterChange || []),
} async ({ doc, operation, req }) => {
], // Send email when notification is created
webPush: { if (operation === 'create') {
enabled: true, try {
autoPush: true, // Get recipient user details
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY, let recipientId = doc.recipient
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY, if (typeof recipientId === 'object' && recipientId?.id) {
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com', recipientId = recipientId.id
findSubscriptions: async (notification, payload) => { }
if (!notification.recipientPhone) return []
// Custom logic to find subscriptions by phone number if (!recipientId) {
// You might have a separate mapping table or user lookup console.log('No recipient for email notification')
const user = await payload.find({ return
collection: 'users', }
where: { phone: { equals: notification.recipientPhone } },
limit: 1
})
if (!user.docs[0]) return [] const recipient = await req.payload.findByID({
collection: 'users',
id: recipientId
})
const subscriptions = await payload.find({ if (!recipient?.email) {
collection: 'push-subscriptions', console.log('Recipient has no email address')
where: { return
and: [ }
{ user: { equals: user.docs[0].id } },
{ isActive: { equals: true } }
]
}
})
return subscriptions.docs // Send email
} await sendEmail({
to: recipient.email,
subject: doc.title,
html: renderNotificationEmail(doc)
})
console.log(`Email sent to ${recipient.email}`)
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to send notification email:', error)
// Don't throw - we don't want to prevent notification creation
}
}
}
]
}
})
} }
}) })
``` ```
**Key Points:**
- The default `recipient` field remains a user relationship for standard notifications
- Add custom recipient fields via the `fields` option for your specific use case
- Use the `findSubscriptions` hook to implement custom subscription lookup logic
- The hook receives the full notification document and payload instance
- Return an array of push subscription documents that should receive the notification
- The plugin will handle the actual push notification sending and error handling
### Setup VAPID Keys
**Step 1:** Generate VAPID keys for secure push messaging:
```bash
npx web-push generate-vapid-keys
```
This will output something like:
```
=======================================
Public Key:
BNde-uFUkQB5BweFbOt_40Tn3xZahMop2JKT8kqRn4UqMMinieguHmVCTxwN_qfM-jZ0YFpVpIk3CWehlXcTl8A
Private Key:
RVtnLcW8qlSkuhNskz8lwBwYcam78x-zO0Ssm_P2bmE
=======================================
```
**Step 2:** Add the keys to your environment variables:
```env
VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY=BNde-uFUkQB5BweFbOt_40Tn3xZahMop2JKT8kqRn4UqMMinieguHmVCTxwN_qfM-jZ0YFpVpIk3CWehlXcTl8A
VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY=RVtnLcW8qlSkuhNskz8lwBwYcam78x-zO0Ssm_P2bmE
```
**Step 3:** Restart your application to load the new environment variables.
⚠️ **Important:** Keep your private key secure and never commit it to version control!
### Client-Side Integration
⚠️ **Authentication Required:** Users must be signed in to subscribe to push notifications. Push subscriptions are associated with user accounts.
```typescript
import { ClientPushManager, usePushNotifications } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications/client'
// React Hook (if using React)
function NotificationSettings() {
const {
isSupported,
isSubscribed,
permission,
subscribe,
unsubscribe
} = usePushNotifications(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_KEY)
if (!isSupported) return <div>Push notifications not supported</div>
return (
<div>
<p>Status: {isSubscribed ? 'Subscribed' : 'Not subscribed'}</p>
<p>Permission: {permission}</p>
{!isSubscribed ? (
<button onClick={subscribe}>Enable Notifications</button>
) : (
<button onClick={unsubscribe}>Disable Notifications</button>
)}
</div>
)
}
// Vanilla JavaScript
const pushManager = new ClientPushManager('your-vapid-public-key')
// Subscribe to notifications
await pushManager.subscribe()
// Check subscription status
const isSubscribed = await pushManager.isSubscribed()
```
### Service Worker Setup
Generate a service worker file automatically:
```bash
npx @xtr-dev/payload-notifications generate-sw
```
This will create a `/public/sw.js` file with the complete service worker template that handles:
- Push notification events
- Notification click handling
- Service worker lifecycle management
- Error handling and fallbacks
- Notification tracking and analytics
**Important Notes:** **Important Notes:**
- The service worker file **must** be placed at `/public/sw.js` in Next.js projects - Always spread existing hooks (`...config.hooks`) to preserve plugin functionality
- This makes it accessible at `https://yourdomain.com/sw.js` - Use the spread operator for hook arrays (`...(config.hooks?.afterChange || [])`)
- Service workers must be served from the root domain for security - Don't throw errors in hooks if you want to allow notification creation to succeed even if email fails
- After creating the file, restart your Next.js development server - Email sending happens asynchronously after the notification is created
### Server-Side Push Notifications ## Web Push Notifications
```typescript The plugin includes optional web push notifications support for PWA and mobile browser users. For complete setup instructions, configuration options, and usage examples, see [WEBPUSH.md](./WEBPUSH.md).
import { WebPushManager } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications/rsc'
// Send push notification to a user
const pushManager = new WebPushManager(webPushConfig, payload)
await pushManager.sendToUser(
userId,
'Order Shipped!',
'Your order #12345 has been shipped',
{
icon: '/icons/order-shipped.png',
badge: '/icons/badge.png',
data: { orderId: '12345', url: '/orders/12345' },
actions: [
{ action: 'view', title: 'View Order', icon: '/icons/view.png' },
{ action: 'dismiss', title: 'Dismiss' }
]
}
)
```
### API Endpoints
The plugin automatically creates these endpoints when web push is enabled:
- `POST /api/push-notifications/subscribe` - Subscribe to push notifications ⚠️ **Requires authentication**
- `POST /api/push-notifications/unsubscribe` - Unsubscribe from push notifications
- `GET /api/push-notifications/vapid-public-key` - Get VAPID public key
- `POST /api/push-notifications/send` - Send notification to user ⚠️ **Requires authentication**
- `POST /api/push-notifications/test` - Send test notification ⚠️ **Admin only**
- `POST /api/push-notifications/track` - Track notification events
### Integration with Notifications Collection
When creating notifications, you can automatically send push notifications:
```typescript
// Create notification and send push notification
const notification = await payload.create({
collection: 'notifications',
data: {
title: 'New Message',
message: [{ children: [{ text: 'You have a new message!' }] }],
recipient: userId,
attachments: { message: messageId }
}
})
// Send push notification
if (webPushEnabled) {
await pushManager.sendToUser(
userId,
notification.title,
'You have a new notification',
{
data: {
notificationId: notification.id,
url: `/notifications/${notification.id}`
}
}
)
}
```

## Plugin Configuration
### Basic Web Push Setup
```typescript
import { notificationsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications'
notificationsPlugin({
webPush: {
enabled: true,
autoPush: true, // Automatically send push notifications when notifications are created
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY,
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY,
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com',
}
})
```
### Advanced Configuration
```typescript
notificationsPlugin({
webPush: {
enabled: true,
autoPush: true,
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY,
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY,
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com',
// Optional: Custom notification transformer
transformNotification: (notification) => ({
title: `🔔 ${notification.title}`,
body: extractTextFromRichText(notification.message).substring(0, 120) + '...',
icon: '/icons/notification-icon.png',
badge: '/icons/notification-badge.png',
data: {
notificationId: notification.id,
url: `/admin/collections/notifications/${notification.id}`
},
actions: [
{ action: 'view', title: 'View', icon: '/icons/view.png' },
{ action: 'dismiss', title: 'Dismiss' }
]
}),
// Optional: Custom hook for finding push subscriptions (for anonymous notifications)
findSubscriptions: async (notification, payload) => {
// Custom logic to find subscriptions based on notification data
// Return array of push subscription documents
return []
}
}
})
```
## Anonymous Notifications Support
For scenarios where you need to send notifications to anonymous users or have custom recipient logic (e.g., notifications based on email addresses, phone numbers, or custom identifiers), you can use the `findSubscriptions` hook combined with custom fields.
### Example: Email-based notifications
```typescript
notificationsPlugin({
// Add custom email field to notifications collection
fields: [
{
name: 'recipientEmail',
type: 'email',
label: 'Recipient Email',
admin: {
description: 'Email address of the notification recipient',
},
}
],
webPush: {
enabled: true,
autoPush: true,
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY,
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY,
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com',
// Custom hook to find subscriptions based on email
findSubscriptions: async (notification, payload) => {
if (!notification.recipientEmail) return []
// Find push subscriptions associated with this email
const subscriptions = await payload.find({
collection: 'push-subscriptions',
where: {
and: [
{ recipientEmail: { equals: notification.recipientEmail } },
{ isActive: { equals: true } },
// Channel filtering (if specified)
...(notification.channel ? [{
or: [
{ channels: { contains: notification.channel } },
{ channels: { contains: 'all' } },
{ channels: { exists: false } },
]
}] : [])
]
}
})
return subscriptions.docs
}
}
})
```
### Example: Phone number-based notifications
```typescript
notificationsPlugin({
fields: [
{
name: 'recipientPhone',
type: 'text',
label: 'Recipient Phone',
admin: {
description: 'Phone number of the notification recipient',
},
}
],
webPush: {
enabled: true,
autoPush: true,
vapidPublicKey: process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY,
vapidPrivateKey: process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY,
vapidSubject: 'mailto:your-email@example.com',
findSubscriptions: async (notification, payload) => {
if (!notification.recipientPhone) return []
// Custom logic to find subscriptions by phone number
// You might have a separate mapping table or user lookup
const user = await payload.find({
collection: 'users',
where: { phone: { equals: notification.recipientPhone } },
limit: 1
})
if (!user.docs[0]) return []
const subscriptions = await payload.find({
collection: 'push-subscriptions',
where: {
and: [
{ user: { equals: user.docs[0].id } },
{ isActive: { equals: true } }
]
}
})
return subscriptions.docs
}
}
})
```
**Key Points:**
- The default `recipient` field remains a user relationship for standard notifications
- Add custom recipient fields via the `fields` option for your specific use case
- Use the `findSubscriptions` hook to implement custom subscription lookup logic
- The hook receives the full notification document and payload instance
- Return an array of push subscription documents that should receive the notification
