Introduction

AppKit Notifications provides a toolkit for integrating Web3 notification features into apps. AppKit Notifications can be used to send notifications from your app directly to wallets.

This SDK utilizes WalletConnect's Notify API and is designed for Web3 scenarios, providing event-based notifications for activities like DAO votes, DeFi transaction alerts, and updates for NFT holders. Apps can send notifications to subscribed accounts, and users can receive and view their notifications in a supporting wallet, in the Web3Inbox.com app, or in the app's frontend. Users can also discover Notify-compatible apps in their wallet or the Web3Inbox.com app to subscribe to.

AppKit Notifications is not to be confused with the Web3Inbox.com app which allows users to receive and manage their notifications from all apps, as they would in a wallet.

Getting Started

AppKit Notifications can be added to your app in a few steps:

• Setup your project to send authenticated notifications.
• Use our frontend SDK to enable users to subscribe to notifications in your app.
• Finally, use WalletConnect Cloud or our API in your backend to send notifications to subscribed users.

Overview

Some of the key features of AppKit Notifications include:

• Device push notifications: Push notifications to the user's wallet (if it supports Notify API) or the Web3Inbox.com app.
• Notification history: Notifications are stored and can be accessed from any device.
• Spam protection/subscription control. Using notification types, subscribers can opt-out of certain notification types they do not want to receive.
• Tracking read status across devices.

Subscribing and receiving notifications

Users can receive notifications in several places:

• In the Web3Inbox.com app which supports push notifications and can be installed to the user's phone
• In your app's frontend using our frontend SDK
• Natively in their wallet if the wallet supports Notify API.
  • You can also test with one of our sample wallets:
    • iOS sample wallet
    • Android sample wallet

Users can also subscribe to notifications in all of the above locations too. To be discoverable in the Web3Inbox.com app or in wallets, apps must submit an explorer listing.
