Broadcasts
A broadcast is a precursor to a notification. When you specify multiple recipients, MagicBell creates a notification for each recipient and delivers it to them based on their preferences.
The broadcast object
Attributes
Create broadcastsreal-time
Create a broadcast to send notifications to upto a 1,000 recipients - users or topic subscribers. You can identify users by their email address or by an external_id.
You don't have to import your users into MagicBell. If a user does not exist we'll create it automatically.
You can send user attributes like first_name, custom_attributes, and more when creating a broadcast.
A new notification will be shown in the inbox of each recipient in real-time. It will also be delivered to each recipient through all channels you have enabled for your project.
