NotifyHub

One API. Every channel.
Unified notification library for Java and Spring Boot.

Website · Documentation · Getting Started

Stop writing different code for each notification channel. NotifyHub gives you a single fluent API to send notifications via Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Firebase Push, Webhooks, WebSocket, Google Chat, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Notion, Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, SendGrid, TikTok Shop, Facebook, AWS SNS, Mailgun, PagerDuty, Kick — or any custom channel you create.

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(EMAIL)
    .fallback(SMS)
    .priority(Priority.HIGH)
    .subject("Order confirmed")
    .template("order-confirmed")
    .param("orderId", order.getId())
    .attach(invoicePdf)
    .send();

Quick Start

1. Add the dependency

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Need extra channels? Add optional modules:

xml

<!-- SMS + WhatsApp (Twilio) -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-sms</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Slack / Telegram / Discord / Teams / Firebase Push / Webhook -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-slack</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- WebSocket / Google Chat -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-websocket</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

2. Configure in `application.yml`

yaml

notify:
  channels:
    email:
      host: smtp.gmail.com
      port: 587
      username: ${GMAIL_USER}
      password: ${GMAIL_PASS}
      from: noreply@myapp.com
      from-name: MyApp
      tls: true
  retry:
    max-attempts: 3
    strategy: exponential
  tracking:
    enabled: true

3. Inject and use

java

@Service
public class OrderService {

    private final NotifyHub notify;

    public OrderService(NotifyHub notify) {
        this.notify = notify;
    }

    public void confirmOrder(Order order) {
        notify.to(order.getCustomer())
            .via(Channel.EMAIL)
            .subject("Order confirmed!")
            .template("order-confirmed")
            .param("customerName", order.getCustomer().getName())
            .param("orderId", order.getId())
            .param("total", order.getTotal())
            .send();
    }
}

That's it. Three steps.

Features

Fallback Chain

If the primary channel fails, automatically try the next one:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.WHATSAPP)
    .fallback(Channel.SMS)
    .fallback(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("payment-reminder")
    .param("amount", "R$ 150,00")
    .send();
// Tries WhatsApp -> SMS -> Email

Multi-Channel Send

Send through ALL channels simultaneously:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .via(Channel.SLACK)
    .via(Channel.TEAMS)
    .subject("Security Alert")
    .content("Login from a new device detected")
    .sendAll();

Async Sending

Send notifications without blocking:

java

// Fire and forget
notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("welcome")
    .sendAsync();

// Or wait for result
CompletableFuture<Void> future = notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .via(Channel.SLACK)
    .content("Deploy complete!")
    .sendAllAsync();

future.thenRun(() -> log.info("All notifications sent!"));

Retry with Backoff

Automatic retry with exponential or fixed backoff:

yaml

# application.yml (global)
notify:
  retry:
    max-attempts: 3
    strategy: exponential  # waits 1s, 2s, 4s...

java

// Or per-notification
notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .retry(3)
    .template("invoice")
    .send();

Templates (Mustache)

Create templates in src/main/resources/templates/notify/:

order-confirmed.html (auto-used for email):

html

<h1>Hello, {{customerName}}!</h1>
<p>Your order <strong>#{{orderId}}</strong> has been confirmed.</p>
<p>Total: <strong>{{total}}</strong></p>

order-confirmed.txt (auto-used for SMS/WhatsApp/Slack/Telegram/Discord/Teams):

Code

Hello {{customerName}}, your order #{{orderId}} is confirmed. Total: {{total}}

The library picks .html for email and .txt for other channels automatically.

i18n (Internationalization)

Templates support locale-based resolution with automatic fallback:

java

// User with locale
notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .locale(Locale.forLanguageTag("pt-BR"))
    .template("welcome")
    .param("name", user.getName())
    .send();

Template resolution order: welcome_pt_BR.html -> welcome_pt.html -> welcome.html

Your Notifiable can also return a locale:

java

public class User implements Notifiable {
    @Override
    public Locale getLocale() {
        return Locale.forLanguageTag("pt-BR");
    }
}

Attachments

Attach files to email notifications:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .subject("Your Invoice")
    .template("invoice")
    .attach("invoice.pdf", pdfBytes, "application/pdf")
    .attach(new File("/reports/monthly.xlsx"))
    .attach(Attachment.fromFile(contractFile))
    .send();

Priority Levels

Set notification priority. URGENT notifications bypass rate limiting:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .priority(Priority.URGENT)
    .subject("SERVER DOWN!")
    .content("Production server is unresponsive")
    .send();

Available priorities: URGENT (bypasses rate limits), HIGH, NORMAL (default), LOW.

Rate Limiting

Control notification throughput per-channel:

yaml

notify:
  rate-limit:
    enabled: true
    max-requests: 100
    window: 1m
    channels:
      email:
        max-requests: 50
        window: 1m
      sms:
        max-requests: 10
        window: 1m

Rate limiting uses a token bucket algorithm. URGENT priority notifications always bypass rate limits.

Dead Letter Queue (DLQ)

Failed notifications (after all retries) are automatically captured in the DLQ:

yaml

notify:
  tracking:
    enabled: true
    dlq-enabled: true

View and manage dead letters via the admin dashboard at /notify-admin/dlq, or programmatically:

java

DeadLetterQueue dlq = hub.getDeadLetterQueue();
List<DeadLetter> failed = dlq.findAll();
dlq.remove(deadLetterId); // after manual reprocessing

Batch Send

Send notifications to multiple recipients at once:

java

// By email addresses
notify.toAll(List.of("user1@test.com", "user2@test.com", "user3@test.com"))
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .subject("System Maintenance")
    .template("maintenance-notice")
    .param("date", "2025-03-01")
    .send();

// By Notifiable entities
notify.toAllNotifiable(users)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("newsletter")
    .send();

// Async batch
notify.toAll(recipients)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("promo")
    .sendAsync();

Delivery Tracking

Track every notification with delivery receipts:

yaml

notify:
  tracking:
    enabled: true
    type: memory  # or "jpa" for database persistence

java

// Send and get a receipt
DeliveryReceipt receipt = notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .content("Hello!")
    .sendTracked();

System.out.println(receipt.getStatus());    // SENT
System.out.println(receipt.getId());         // uuid
System.out.println(receipt.getTimestamp());  // 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z

For database persistence, add the JPA tracker module:

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-tracker-jpa</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

yaml

notify:
  tracking:
    enabled: true
    type: jpa

Scheduled Notifications

Schedule notifications for future delivery:

java

ScheduledNotification scheduled = notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .subject("Reminder")
    .content("Don't forget your appointment tomorrow!")
    .schedule(Duration.ofHours(24));

// Check status
scheduled.getStatus();        // SCHEDULED, SENT, FAILED, CANCELLED
scheduled.getRemainingDelay(); // PT23H59M...

// Cancel if needed
scheduled.cancel();

Notification Routing

Auto-route notifications based on user preferences:

java

public class User implements Notifiable {
    @Override
    public List<Channel> getPreferredChannels() {
        return List.of(Channel.WHATSAPP, Channel.SMS, Channel.EMAIL);
    }
}

// Auto-routes: WhatsApp (primary) -> SMS (fallback) -> Email (fallback)
notify.notify(user)
    .template("order-update")
    .param("orderId", "12345")
    .send();

Conditional routing with rules:

java

NotificationRouter router = NotificationRouter.builder()
    .rule(RoutingRule.timeBasedRule(
        LocalTime.of(9, 0), LocalTime.of(18, 0),
        Channel.SLACK, Channel.EMAIL))  // Slack during business hours, email after
    .build();

Notifiable Interface

Make your User entity a notification recipient:

java

@Entity
public class User implements Notifiable {

    private String name;
    private String email;
    private String phone;

    @Override
    public String getNotifyEmail() { return email; }

    @Override
    public String getNotifyPhone() { return phone; }

    @Override
    public String getNotifyName() { return name; }

    @Override
    public Locale getLocale() { return Locale.forLanguageTag("pt-BR"); }

    @Override
    public List<Channel> getPreferredChannels() {
        return List.of(Channel.EMAIL, Channel.SMS);
    }
}

Then just pass the user object:

java

notify.to(user)       // resolves email/phone automatically
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("welcome")
    .send();

Or use raw addresses:

java

notify.to("user@email.com").via(Channel.EMAIL).content("Hello!").send();
notify.toPhone("+5511999999999").via(Channel.SMS).content("Code: 1234").send();

Message Deduplication

Prevent duplicate notifications automatically with content hashing or explicit keys:

yaml

notify:
  deduplication:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 24h
    strategy: content-hash  # content-hash | explicit-key | both

java

// Auto-dedup by content hash (same recipient + channel + content = skipped)
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL).content("Order confirmed").send();
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL).content("Order confirmed").send(); // skipped!

// Dedup by explicit key
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL)
    .deduplicationKey("order-" + orderId)
    .template("order-confirmed")
    .send();

Strategies:

content-hash — SHA-256 hash of recipient + channel + subject + content
explicit-key — uses the key provided via .deduplicationKey("...")
both — uses explicit key if provided, otherwise falls back to content hash

Without Spring Boot:

java

NotifyHub notify = NotifyHub.builder()
    .deduplicationStore(new InMemoryDeduplicationStore(Duration.ofHours(12)))
    .channel(emailChannel)
    .build();

Template Versioning

Manage multiple versions of templates for A/B testing or gradual rollouts:

Code

templates/notify/
├── order-confirmed.html           ← default version
├── order-confirmed@v1.html        ← version v1
├── order-confirmed@v2.html        ← version v2
├── order-confirmed_pt_BR@v2.html  ← v2 with i18n
└── order-confirmed.txt            ← text default

java

// Use a specific version
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL)
    .template("order-confirmed")
    .templateVersion("v2")
    .param("orderId", "123")
    .send();

// No version = default template (backward compatible)
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL)
    .template("order-confirmed")
    .send();

// A/B testing
String version = abTestService.getVariant(user, "email-template");
notify.to(user).via(EMAIL)
    .template("welcome")
    .templateVersion(version)  // "v1" or "v2"
    .send();

Resolution order: {name}@{version}_{locale}.{variant} → {name}@{version}.{variant} → {name}_{locale}.{variant} → {name}.{variant}

Custom Channels

Create your own channel by implementing one interface:

java

@Component
public class PushChannel implements NotificationChannel {

    @Override
    public String getName() { return "push"; }

    @Override
    public void send(Notification notification) {
        firebaseClient.send(notification.getRecipient(), notification.getRenderedContent());
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isAvailable() { return true; }
}

Use it:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.custom("push"))
    .template("new-message")
    .send();

Spring Boot auto-discovers any NotificationChannel bean. No extra config needed.

Event Listeners + Spring Events

Monitor notification outcomes with the listener interface:

java

@Component
public class NotifyMonitor implements NotificationListener {

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String channel, String template) {
        metrics.increment("notifications.sent." + channel);
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(String channel, String template, Exception error) {
        log.error("Failed on {}: {}", channel, error.getMessage());
        alertService.warn("Channel " + channel + " is failing");
    }

    @Override
    public void onScheduled(String channel, String recipient, Duration delay) {
        log.info("Scheduled for {} in {}", recipient, delay);
    }
}

Or use Spring Application Events (auto-configured):

java

@Component
public class NotificationEventHandler {

    @EventListener
    public void onSent(NotificationSentEvent event) {
        log.info("Sent via {} to {}", event.getChannel(), event.getRecipient());
    }

    @EventListener
    public void onFailed(NotificationFailedEvent event) {
        log.error("Failed: {}", event.getError().getMessage());
    }
}

Named Recipients

Send notifications to multiple destinations per channel using named aliases. Instead of one hardcoded webhook URL or chat ID, configure as many as you need:

Configure in application.yml:

yaml

notify:
  channels:
    discord:
      webhook-url: ${DISCORD_DEFAULT}      # default destination
      username: NotifyHub
      avatar-url: https://example.com/logo.png
      recipients:
        alerts: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/111/aaa
        devops: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/222/bbb
        general: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/333/ccc

    slack:
      webhook-url: ${SLACK_DEFAULT}
      recipients:
        engineering: https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ
        marketing: https://hooks.slack.com/services/AAA/BBB/CCC

    telegram:
      bot-token: ${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}
      chat-id: ${TELEGRAM_DEFAULT_CHAT}
      recipients:
        alerts: "-1001234567890"
        devops: "-1009876543210"

Use with the Java API:

java

// Send to a named alias
notify.to("alerts").via(DISCORD).content("Server is down!").send();
notify.to("engineering").via(SLACK).content("Deploy complete").send();
notify.to("devops").via(TELEGRAM).content("CPU at 95%").send();

// Send to default (no alias)
notify.to("user").via(DISCORD).content("Hello!").send();

// Pass a raw URL directly (no alias needed)
notify.to("https://discord.com/api/webhooks/444/ddd").via(DISCORD).content("Direct!").send();

Use with the MCP Server (AI Agents):

Code

send_discord(recipient="alerts", body="Server is down!")
send_slack(recipient="engineering", body="Deploy complete")
send_telegram(recipient="devops", body="CPU at 95%")

Environment variables for MCP/Docker:

bash

# Default webhook
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/111/aaa

# Named recipients (RECIPIENTS_<NAME>)
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_DISCORD_RECIPIENTS_ALERTS=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/222/bbb
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_DISCORD_RECIPIENTS_DEVOPS=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/333/ccc

# Same pattern for all channels
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_SLACK_RECIPIENTS_ENGINEERING=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_TELEGRAM_RECIPIENTS_ALERTS=-1001234567890
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_TEAMS_RECIPIENTS_GENERAL=https://outlook.office.com/webhook/XXX
NOTIFY_CHANNELS_GOOGLE_CHAT_RECIPIENTS_TEAM=https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/XXX

Resolution order: alias match in recipients map > raw URL/value passthrough > default from config.

Supported on: Discord, Slack, Telegram, Teams, Google Chat.

Message Queue (RabbitMQ / Kafka)

Decouple notification sending with async message queues. NotifyHub provides two modules:

RabbitMQ

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-queue-rabbitmq</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

yaml

spring.rabbitmq.host: localhost
spring.rabbitmq.port: 5672

notify.queue.rabbitmq:
  enabled: true
  queue-name: notifyhub-notifications
  exchange-name: notifyhub-exchange
  routing-key: notification
  consumer:
    enabled: true
    concurrency: 1
    max-concurrency: 5

server.ts

@Autowired RabbitNotificationProducer producer;

// Enqueue for async delivery
producer.enqueue(QueuedNotification.builder()
    .recipient("user@example.com")
    .channelName("email")
    .subject("Welcome!")
    .templateName("welcome")
    .params(Map.of("name", "Gabriel"))
    .build());
// Consumer picks it up and sends via NotifyHub automatically

Apache Kafka

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-queue-kafka</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

yaml

spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers: localhost:9092

notify.queue.kafka:
  enabled: true
  topic: notifyhub-notifications
  consumer:
    enabled: true
    group-id: notifyhub-group
    concurrency: 1

java

@Autowired KafkaNotificationProducer producer;

// Same API as RabbitMQ — just different transport
producer.enqueue(QueuedNotification.builder()
    .recipient("+5548999999999")
    .channelName("sms")
    .rawContent("Your code is 1234")
    .priority("URGENT")
    .build());

Both modules support: templates, priority, deduplication keys, delivery tracking, and phone number routing for SMS/WhatsApp.

Circuit Breaker

Per-channel circuit breaker prevents cascading failures. If a channel fails repeatedly, the circuit opens and short-circuits further attempts:

java

// Without Spring Boot
NotifyHub notify = NotifyHub.builder()
    .channel(emailChannel)
    .circuitBreaker(CircuitBreakerConfig.defaults()) // 5 failures → open for 30s
    .build();

// Custom thresholds
NotifyHub notify = NotifyHub.builder()
    .channel(emailChannel)
    .circuitBreaker(CircuitBreakerConfig.custom()
        .failureThreshold(3)
        .openDuration(Duration.ofMinutes(1))
        .windowSize(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
        .build())
    .build();

yaml

# Spring Boot
notify:
  circuit-breaker:
    enabled: true
    failure-threshold: 5
    open-duration: 30s
    window-size: 60s

States: CLOSED (normal) → OPEN (rejecting) → HALF_OPEN (testing recovery). The health endpoint includes circuit breaker status per channel.

Bulkhead (Concurrency Isolation)

Limit concurrent sends per channel to prevent resource exhaustion:

java

NotifyHub notify = NotifyHub.builder()
    .channel(emailChannel)
    .bulkhead(BulkheadConfig.defaults())       // 10 concurrent per channel
    .bulkhead(BulkheadConfig.perChannel(5))    // or custom limit
    .build();

Multi-Channel Orchestration

Build escalation workflows that promote through channels if the user doesn't engage:

java

notify.to(user)
    .orchestrate()
    .first(Channel.EMAIL)
        .template("order-update")
    .ifNoOpen(Duration.ofHours(24))
    .then(Channel.PUSH)
        .content("You have an unread order update")
    .ifNoOpen(Duration.ofHours(48))
    .then(Channel.SMS)
        .content("Order update waiting — check your email")
    .execute();

Each step waits for the specified duration before escalating to the next channel.

A/B Testing

Built-in deterministic A/B testing for notifications. Variant assignment is hash-based (SHA-256) — the same recipient always gets the same variant:

java

notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .subject("Welcome!")
    .abTest("welcome-experiment")
        .variant("control", b -> b.template("welcome-v1"))
        .variant("new-design", b -> b.template("welcome-v2"))
        .split(50, 50);

Supports any number of variants with weighted splits. Deterministic hashing ensures consistent experiences across sends.

Cron Scheduling

Schedule recurring notifications with cron expressions:

java

ScheduledNotification job = notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("weekly-digest")
    .cron("0 9 * * MON"); // Every Monday at 9 AM

Supports standard 5-field cron syntax: minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week. Includes ranges, lists, steps, and named days/months.

Quiet Hours

Respect user preferences for notification timing:

java

public class User implements Notifiable {
    @Override
    public QuietHours getQuietHours() {
        return QuietHours.between(
            LocalTime.of(22, 0),  // 10 PM
            LocalTime.of(8, 0),   // 8 AM
            ZoneId.of("America/Sao_Paulo")
        );
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Channel> getOptedOutChannels() {
        return Set.of(Channel.SMS); // User opted out of SMS
    }
}

Notifications sent during quiet hours are delayed to the next allowed window. Opted-out channels are silently skipped.

Testing Utilities

TestNotifyHub provides a test-friendly wrapper with capturing channels for all built-in channel types:

java

@Test
void shouldSendWelcomeEmail() {
    TestNotifyHub test = TestNotifyHub.create();

    test.to("user@test.com")
        .via(Channel.EMAIL)
        .subject("Welcome")
        .content("Hello!")
        .send();

    assertThat(test.sent()).hasSize(1);
    assertThat(test.sent("email").get(0).subject()).isEqualTo("Welcome");
}

No mocking needed — TestNotifyHub captures all notifications in memory for assertions. Call test.reset() between tests.

Admin Dashboard

NotifyHub includes a built-in admin dashboard for monitoring your notification system.

yaml

notify:
  admin:
    enabled: true

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.gabrielbbaldez</groupId>
    <artifactId>notify-admin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Spring Boot Integration

Micrometer Metrics

Auto-configured when Micrometer is on the classpath:

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
    <artifactId>micrometer-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

Exposes counters and gauges via the unified EventBus:

notifyhub.notifications.sent (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.failed (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.retried (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.rate_limited (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.deduped (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.circuit_opened (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.circuit_closed (tags: channel)
notifyhub.notifications.send_duration (timer, tags: channel)

Actuator Health Check

Auto-configured when Spring Boot Actuator is on the classpath:

Code

GET /actuator/health/notifyhub

config.json

{
  "status": "UP",
  "details": {
    "email": { "status": "UP", "circuitBreaker": "CLOSED" },
    "slack": { "status": "UP", "circuitBreaker": "CLOSED" },
    "totalChannels": 2,
    "availableChannels": 2
  }
}

Status: UP (all channels available), DEGRADED (some down), DOWN (all down). When circuit breaker is configured, each channel also reports its circuit state.

Actuator Info

Code

GET /actuator/info

config.json

{
  "notifyhub": {
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "channels": ["email", "slack", "teams"],
    "tracking.enabled": true,
    "dlq.enabled": true
  }
}

OpenTelemetry Tracing

Auto-configured when Micrometer Observation and an OTel bridge are on the classpath. Add these dependencies to export distributed traces via OTLP:

xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
    <artifactId>micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.opentelemetry</groupId>
    <artifactId>opentelemetry-exporter-otlp</artifactId>
</dependency>

Configure the OTLP endpoint in application.yml:

yaml

management:
  tracing:
    sampling:
      probability: 1.0       # 100% sampling (adjust for production)
  otlp:
    tracing:
      endpoint: http://localhost:4318/v1/traces

Creates observations (spans):

notifyhub.send (tags: channel, template, outcome)
notifyhub.schedule (tags: channel, outcome)

Compatible with Jaeger, Zipkin, Grafana Tempo, Datadog, and any OTLP-compatible collector.

Webhook HMAC Signing

The Status Webhook listener supports HMAC-SHA256 request signing for security. When configured, every webhook POST includes a X-NotifyHub-Signature header that your server can use to verify the request came from NotifyHub.

yaml

notify:
  status-webhook:
    url: https://your-server.com/webhook
    signing-secret: ${WEBHOOK_SECRET}   # any secret string

Each request includes the header:

Code

X-NotifyHub-Signature: sha256=<hex-encoded HMAC-SHA256 of request body>

Verify in your server:

java

Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA256");
mac.init(new SecretKeySpec(secret.getBytes(), "HmacSHA256"));
String expected = "sha256=" + HexFormat.of().formatHex(mac.doFinal(body.getBytes()));
boolean valid = MessageDigest.isEqual(expected.getBytes(), signature.getBytes());

Without Spring Boot

NotifyHub works without Spring — use the builder directly:

java

NotifyHub notify = NotifyHub.builder()
    .templateEngine(new MustacheTemplateEngine())
    .channel(new SmtpEmailChannel(
        SmtpConfig.builder()
            .host("smtp.gmail.com").port(587)
            .username("user@gmail.com").password("app-password")
            .from("noreply@myapp.com").tls(true)
            .build()
    ))
    .channel(new SlackChannel(
        SlackConfig.builder()
            .webhookUrl("https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ")
            .recipients(Map.of("engineering", "https://hooks.slack.com/services/AAA/BBB/CCC"))
            .build()
    ))
    .channel(new TeamsChannel(
        TeamsConfig.builder()
            .webhookUrl("https://outlook.office.com/webhook/XXX/YYY/ZZZ")
            .build()
    ))
    .channel(new WebhookChannel(
        WebhookConfig.builder()
            .name("pagerduty")
            .url("https://events.pagerduty.com/v2/enqueue")
            .payloadTemplate("{\"summary\":\"{{content}}\"}")
            .build()
    ))
    .channel(new WebSocketChannel(
        WebSocketConfig.builder()
            .uri("wss://echo.example.com/ws")
            .messageFormat("{\"text\":\"{{content}}\"}")
            .build()
    ))
    .channel(new GoogleChatChannel(
        GoogleChatConfig.builder()
            .webhookUrl("https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/XXX/messages?key=YYY")
            .build()
    ))
    .deduplicationStore(new InMemoryDeduplicationStore(Duration.ofHours(24)))
    .defaultRetryPolicy(RetryPolicy.exponential(3))
    .rateLimiter(new TokenBucketRateLimiter(
        RateLimitConfig.perMinute(100)))
    .deadLetterQueue(new InMemoryDeadLetterQueue())
    .tracker(new InMemoryNotificationTracker())
    .circuitBreaker(CircuitBreakerConfig.defaults())
    .bulkhead(BulkheadConfig.defaults())
    .build();

// Sync
notify.to("user@email.com")
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .subject("Hello!")
    .content("Welcome to the app!")
    .send();

// Async
notify.to("#general")
    .via(Channel.SLACK)
    .content("Deploy complete!")
    .sendAsync();

// Tracked
DeliveryReceipt receipt = notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .content("Invoice attached")
    .sendTracked();

// Scheduled
notify.to(user)
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .content("Reminder!")
    .schedule(Duration.ofMinutes(30));

// Batch
notify.toAll(List.of("a@test.com", "b@test.com"))
    .via(Channel.EMAIL)
    .template("announcement")
    .send();

Only notify-core + channel modules needed. No Spring dependency.

MCP Server (AI Agents)

NotifyHub includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes all notification channels as tools for AI agents like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

How it works

The notify-mcp module is a standalone Java application that communicates via STDIO using the JSON-RPC protocol. AI agents discover the available tools and can send notifications through any configured channel.

Setup

1. Build the MCP server:

bash

mvn clean package -pl notify-mcp -am -DskipTests

2. Configure in Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notify-hub": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": ["-jar", "path/to/notify-mcp-1.0.0.jar"],
      "env": {
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_EMAIL_HOST": "smtp.gmail.com",
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_EMAIL_PORT": "587",
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_EMAIL_USERNAME": "you@gmail.com",
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_EMAIL_PASSWORD": "app-password",
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL": "https://hooks.slack.com/...",
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Or for Claude Code (.mcp.json in project root):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notify-hub": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": ["-jar", "path/to/notify-mcp-1.0.0.jar"],
      "env": {
        "NOTIFY_CHANNELS_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Resilience Pipeline

Every notification passes through a handler chain before hitting the channel:

Code

Deduplication → Rate Limit → Circuit Breaker → Template Rendering → Retry + Send → DLQ

Each handler can short-circuit (e.g., dedup skips duplicates, circuit breaker rejects when open). The pipeline is fully optional — handlers are skipped when their dependency is null.

Design Principles

notify-core has zero Spring dependency — use it in any Java project
Channels are pluggable — implement NotificationChannel, register as a Spring bean
Slack, Telegram, Discord, Teams, WebSocket, Google Chat use zero external SDKs — only JDK java.net.http.HttpClient
Template engine is replaceable — implement TemplateEngine interface
Spring Boot starter auto-configures everything — just add the dependency
Async support — sendAsync() and sendAllAsync() with CompletableFuture
Conditional auto-config — channel beans only load when their module is on classpath
Unified event system — NotificationEventBus replaces scattered listener calls, backward-compatible via LegacyListenerAdapter

Maven Central

NotifyHub is published on Maven Central. No extra repositories needed.
