Trigger a notiflow

Execute a notiflow to send notifications to one or more recipients.

You must provide either recipients (direct targeting) or topic (pub/sub targeting), but not both.

Direct targeting (recipients): Specify exactly which users should receive the notification. Users are identified by their external_id. If a user doesn't exist, they will be created automatically with the provided attributes.

Topic targeting (topic): Send to all users subscribed to the specified topic. Useful for broadcast scenarios.

Template variables: The data object is passed to notification templates. Access variables using Liquid syntax: {{ data.variable_name }}
