Novu allows to create a multi-tab experience for a notification center, in a way you can fetch the notifications feed using a filtered query.

Defining stores

To create multiple stores you can use the prop stores on the NovuProvider component. Each store has storeId property that will be used to interact with information related to this store.

<NovuProvider
  stores={[
    /**
	storeId and feedIdentifier must be identical and should be copied from In-App editor feed
  */
    {
      storeId: "product-updates",
      query: { feedIdentifier: "product-updates" },
    },
    { storeId: "user-activity", query: { feedIdentifier: "user-activity" } },
  ]}
  subscriberId={"SUBSCRIBER_ID"}
  applicationIdentifier={"APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER"}
>
  <PopoverWrapper />
</NovuProvider>

Using the query object multiple fields can be passed for feed API:

  • feedIdentifier - Can be configured and created on the WEB UI
  • seen - Identifies if the notification has been seen or not

After specifying the stores prop, you can use the storeId property to interact with the store.

    { name: "Product Updates", storeId: "product-updates" },
    { name: "User Activity", storeId: "user-activity" },
  ]}
  colorScheme={colorScheme}
  onNotificationClick={handlerOnNotificationClick}
  onActionClick={handlerOnActionClick}
>
  {({ unseenCount }) => {
    return (
      <NotificationBell colorScheme={colorScheme} unseenCount={unseenCount} />
    );
  }}
</PopoverNotificationCenter>
