Bolt

Add multi-channel notifications to your Bolt app using Sendivent's API.

Overview

Bolt builds full-stack web apps from prompts. This guide shows how to add notification support — email, SMS, Slack, push, and more — to apps built with Bolt.

Prerequisites

1. A Sendivent account with an API key
2. At least one event configured in your Sendivent dashboard
3. A Bolt project

Integration Steps

1. Prompt Bolt

Paste this prompt into Bolt's chat:

Add Sendivent notification support to this app. Create a server-side
API route that sends notifications via the Sendivent API.

API details:
- Endpoint: POST https://api.sendivent.com/v1/send/{event}
- Auth: Authorization: Bearer SENDIVENT_API_KEY (read from environment)
- Request body: { "to": "user@example.com", "payload": { ...dynamic data } }
- Response: { "id": "notification-uuid", "event": "welcome", "status": "accepted" }

The API route should:
1. Read SENDIVENT_API_KEY from process.env
2. Accept event name, recipient, and payload as parameters
3. POST to the Sendivent API with Bearer token auth
4. Return the response to the client

To send to a specific channel, use: POST /v1/send/{event}/{channel}
Supported channels: email, sms, slack, push, telegram, whatsapp, discord

2. Configure environment

Add your API key to the project environment:

SENDIVENT_API_KEY=live_your_api_key

3. Test the integration

Trigger a notification flow in your app and check the Activity tab in your Sendivent dashboard.

Using Templates

Pass dynamic data via the payload field. Templates are managed in the Sendivent dashboard:

Update the API route to send a welcome notification:

Event name: user.welcome
Recipient: the new user's email
Payload: { "name": user.name, "activationLink": activationUrl }

Troubleshooting

Notifications not sending

• Verify SENDIVENT_API_KEY is set in the project environment
• Check the event exists in your Sendivent dashboard

401 Unauthorized

• Confirm the API key is correct
• Check key prefix matches API URL (test_* → api-sandbox.sendivent.com, live_* → api.sendivent.com)
