Multi-provider Configuration

In the last update, I mentioned that Novu now supports multiple providers.

Now you can specify who should be the primary provider when you have multiple providers for a particular channel for a given environment.

As mentioned in the last release, you can programmatically call a provider identifier during a trigger event.

await novu.trigger("<workflow_trigger_id>", {
    to: {...},
    payload: {...},
    overrides: {
    email: { integrationIdentifier: 'the identifier"} ,
    sms: { integrationIdentifier: 'the identifier"}
}

Migration for Self-hosted Novu Users - BREAKING CHANGE

A migration needs to be run prior to the new version update:

cd apps/api
npm run migration:primary-provider

#.env file in apps/api/src/.env should have a MONGO_URL pointing to your deployment
