Replit

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

Overview

Replit is a cloud development platform where you can build and deploy apps. This guide shows how to add notification support — email, SMS, Slack, push, and more — to apps built on Replit.

Prerequisites

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

Integration Steps

1. Add your API key

In your Repl, go to Secrets (lock icon in the sidebar) and add:

  • Key: SENDIVENT_API_KEY
  • Value: your live_* or test_* key

2. Prompt Replit Agent

Ask the Replit Agent to add Sendivent:

Add Sendivent notification support to this app. Create a server-side
endpoint 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 endpoint should:
1. Read SENDIVENT_API_KEY from the environment (already set in Secrets)
2. Accept event name, recipient, and payload as parameters
3. POST to the Sendivent API with Bearer token auth
4. Return the response

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

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 endpoint to send a team notification:

Event name: team.alert
Recipient: { "slack": "#engineering" }
Payload: { "message": "Deploy completed", "service": "api", "version": "2.1.0" }

Troubleshooting

Notifications not sending

  • Verify SENDIVENT_API_KEY is set in Replit Secrets
  • 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)
