# /iblai-vibe-notification
Add notification features -- a compact bell icon with unread badge for your
navbar and a full notification center page with Inbox and Alerts tabs.

> **Template:** the bell this skill creates is bundled as
> [`assets/notification-bell.tsx.j2`](assets/notification-bell.tsx.j2). See
> [`/iblai-vibe-scaffold`](../iblai-vibe-scaffold/SKILL.md) for the `{{ }}` contract.
Do NOT add custom styles to ibl.ai SDK components — they ship with their
own styling. Do NOT implement dark mode unless asked.
Follow the component hierarchy: use ibl.ai SDK components
(`@iblai/iblai-js`) first, then shadcn/ui (`npx shadcn@latest add <name>`).
> **Navbar:** If the user wants a navbar with the bell, send them to
> `/iblai-vibe-navbar` first.
## Step 0: Start from vibe-starter? (new projects)
Before running this skill, ask the user:
> Are you starting a new project from scratch? vibe-starter
> (https://github.com/iblai/vibe/tree/main/skills/iblai-vibe-ops-init/assets/vibe-starter) already ships the
> notification bell and /notifications page wired up, alongside auth, navbar,
> and profile/account. Want to use that instead?
If yes, copy the bundled starter template from the installed
`iblai-vibe-ops-init` skill's `assets/vibe-starter/` directory (a sibling of
this skill's directory), or fetch it from the vibe repo if those assets are
not installed -- tell the user which path you took -- then skip this skill:
cp -a <skills-dir>/iblai-vibe-ops-init/assets/vibe-starter/. .
# or, without local assets:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/iblai/vibe.git vibe-tmp && cp -a vibe-tmp/skills/iblai-vibe-ops-init/assets/vibe-starter/. . && rm -rf vibe-tmp
pnpm install --ignore-scripts
> Run with `--ignore-scripts` to skip package lifecycle (postinstall) scripts.
If they prefer to add notifications to an existing app, continue below.
## Prerequisites
- Auth set up (`/iblai-vibe-auth`)
- MCP server + skills configured (`@iblai/mcp` in `.mcp.json`)
- `iblai.env` populated with `PLATFORM`, `DOMAIN`, `TOKEN`. If missing,
tell the user to download the template:
`curl -o iblai.env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/iblai.env`
## Create the Bell
Render [`assets/notification-bell.tsx.j2`](assets/notification-bell.tsx.j2)
into `components/iblai/notification-bell.tsx` (substitute `{{ }}`
placeholders) — a bell with unread badge. Reads `userData` and `tenant` from
localStorage; returns `null` when unauthenticated.
## Components
Use MCP for full props/examples:
```
get_component_info("NotificationDropdown")
get_component_info("NotificationDisplay")
```
### `<NotificationDropdown>` — bell icon for the navbar
| Prop | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `org` | `string` | Platform key |
| `userId` | `string` | Username |
| `onViewNotifications` | `(id?) => void?` | "View all" callback |
| `className` | `string?` | Additional CSS class |
### `<NotificationDisplay>` — full notification center page
| Prop | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `org` | `string` | Platform key |
| `userId` | `string` | Username |
| `isAdmin` | `boolean?` | Shows Alerts tab + Send button |
| `selectedNotificationId` | `string?` | Pre-select a notification |
| `enableRbac` | `boolean?` | Enable RBAC permission checks |
Derive `isAdmin` from the `tenants` array in localStorage.
### Roles
| Feature | Everyone | Admin |
|---------|----------|-------|
| Inbox, mark as read | ✓ | ✓ |
| Send notification, Alerts tab | | ✓ |
## Verify
Run `/iblai-vibe-ops-test` before reporting done:
```bash
pnpm build && pnpm test
pnpm dev &
npx playwright screenshot http://localhost:3000/notifications /tmp/notifications.png
```
## Notes
- Import from `@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers` (framework-agnostic).
- Redux store must include `mentorReducer` and `mentorMiddleware`.
- `initializeDataLayer()` takes 5 args (data-layer v1.2+).
- `@reduxjs/toolkit` deduped via webpack aliases in `next.config.ts`.
---
# Notification REST API
> **Base URL:** `${dmUrl}/api/notification/v1/` — `dmUrl` is the first
> arg passed to `initializeDataLayer()` (sourced from
> `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL`).
> **Auth:** `Authorization: Token <token>`
> **Live OpenAPI:** `${dmUrl}/api/docs/schema/swagger-ui/`
The SDK's RTK Query hooks (`useGetUserNotificationsQuery`,
`useGetNotificationCountQuery`, `useUpdateNotificationStatusMutation`,
`useMarkAllNotificationsReadMutation`, …) wrap most endpoints. Drop down
to raw HTTP only for admin endpoints not yet exposed as hooks (template
PATCH, builder send, SMTP test). Discover hooks via
`get_api_query_info(...)` in MCP. `{org}` and `{platform_key}` are the
same value (the platform slug).
## User notifications
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `GET` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/notifications/` | List user notifications. Query: `status`, `channel`, `exclude_channel`, `start_date`, `end_date`, `page` |
| `PUT` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/notifications/` | Update status. Body: `{notification_id: "uuid,uuid", status: "READ\|UNREAD\|CANCELLED"}` |
| `PATCH` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/notifications/bulk-update/` | Set status on **all** user notifications. Body: `{status}` |
| `DELETE` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/notifications/{id}/` | Delete one notification |
| `GET` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/notifications-count/` | Count. Query: `status`, `channel`. Returns `{count}` |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/mark-all-as-read` | Mark all (or `notification_ids[]`) read |
| `GET` | `/orgs/{org}/notifications/` / `PUT` / `PATCH .../bulk-update/` | Org-wide variants (admin) |
Status values: `READ`, `UNREAD`, `CANCELLED`. Notification record:
`{id, username, title, body, status, channel, context, short_message, created_at, updated_at}`.
## Templates (admin)
Templates inherit defaults; the first `PATCH` clones the default into a
platform-specific copy. `reset` deletes the override (toggle state is
preserved).
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `GET` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/` | List templates (system + custom) |
| `GET` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/{type}/` | Template detail |
| `PATCH` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/{type}/` | Customize template |
| `PATCH` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/{type}/toggle/` | Body: `{allow_notification: bool}` |
| `POST` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/{type}/reset/` | Revert to default |
| `POST` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/templates/{type}/test/` | Send test email. Body: `{context?}` |
Writable on `PATCH`: `name`, `description`, `message_title`,
`message_body`, `short_message_body`, `email_subject`,
`email_from_address`, `email_html_template`, `spa_ids[]`, `channel_ids[]`.
For `PROACTIVE_LEARNER_NOTIFICATION`, `POLICY_ASSIGNMENT`, and
`HUMAN_SUPPORT_NOTIFICATION` only their config fields are writable
(content is read-only). See "Special types" below.
Templates use Django syntax (`{{ var }}`, `{% if %}`, `{% for %}`).
`email_html_template` is sanitized by `bleach` — `<script>`, `<iframe>`,
`<form>`, event-handler attributes, and `javascript:` URLs are stripped.
### Notification types
System types include: `USER_NOTIF_USER_REGISTRATION`,
`APP_REGISTRATION`, `USER_NOTIF_COURSE_ENROLLMENT`,
`USER_NOTIF_COURSE_COMPLETION`, `USER_NOTIF_CREDENTIALS`,
`USER_NOTIF_LEARNER_PROGRESS`, `USER_NOTIF_USER_INACTIVITY`,
`PLATFORM_INVITATION`, `COURSE_INVITATION`, `PROGRAM_INVITATION`,
`COURSE_LICENSE_ASSIGNMENT`, `COURSE_LICENSE_GROUP_ASSIGNMENT`,
`PROGRAM_LICENSE_ASSIGNMENT`, `PROGRAM_LICENSE_GROUP_ASSIGNMENT`,
`USER_LICENSE_ASSIGNMENT`, `USER_LICENSE_GROUP_ASSIGNMENT`,
`ROLE_CHANGE`, `ADMIN_NOTIF_COURSE_ENROLLMENT`, `POLICY_ASSIGNMENT`,
`HUMAN_SUPPORT_NOTIFICATION`, `PROACTIVE_LEARNER_NOTIFICATION`,
`REPORT_COMPLETED`, `CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION`,
`ACTIVITY_COURSE_MILESTONE`, `ACTIVITY_NEW_CONTENT`,
`COURSES_PROGRESS_SUMMARY`, `PATHWAY_ENROLLMENT_CONFIRMATION`,
`PROGRAM_ENROLLMENT_CONFIRMATION`, `SKILL_MASTERY_CHANGE`. Per-type
template variables are returned in `available_context` from the GET
detail endpoint.
## Direct send (notification builder)
Admin-only. Flow: **context → validate → preview → send.**
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `GET` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/notification-builder/context/` | Returns `{templates[], channels[], sources[]}` |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/notification-builder/validate_source/` | Body: `{type, data}`. Returns valid/invalid counts + sample |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/notification-builder/preview/` | Returns `{build_id, count, warning, recipients[]}` |
| `GET` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/notification-builder/{build_id}/recipients/` | Paginated. Query: `search`, `page`, `page_size` |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/notification-builder/send/` | Body: `{build_id}` |
Preview body:
```json
{
"template_id": "uuid", // OR template_data — not both
"template_data": { "message_title": "...", "message_body": "..." },
"channels": [1, 2],
"sources": [{ "type": "email", "data": "a@x.com,b@x.com" }],
"context": { "course_name": "Python 101" },
"process_on": "2026-05-01T09:00:00Z" // optional, for scheduled send
}
```
Source types: `email`, `username`, `platform`, `csv` (multipart with
`file_0`), `department`, `pathway`, `program`, `usergroup`. Recipients
are merged + deduped across sources. Duplicate suppression: SHA-256 hash
of recipients+template+channels — if matched within 24h, send returns
`"Similar notifications found"`.
## Push (FCM)
| Method | Path | Body |
|--------|------|------|
| `POST` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/register-fcm-token/` | `{name, registration_id, active?, cloud_message_type?, application_id?}` |
| `DELETE` | `/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/register-fcm-token/` | `{registration_id}` |
## SMTP
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `POST` | `/platforms/{platform_key}/config/test-smtp/` | Verify SMTP. Body: `{smtp_host, smtp_port, smtp_username, smtp_password, use_tls?, use_ssl?, test_email, from_email?}` |
`use_tls` (port 587) and `use_ssl` (port 465) are mutually exclusive.
## Campaigns
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `GET` | `/campaigns/unsubscribe/{unsubscribe_hash}/` | Public — unsubscribe link target |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/campaigns/enable/` | Re-enable. Body: `{campaign_id, campaign_title, email}` |
| `POST` | `/orgs/{platform_key}/campaigns/exclude/` | Opt-out. Body: same |
## Special types (config-only `PATCH`)
### `HUMAN_SUPPORT_NOTIFICATION`
