Handling complex "delivery time" user preferences
We have a system where user may want to suscribe to certain "events" that happen in the system, in a CMS could be "whenever an item of type X of the CMS" changes. The tricky bit is that user can chose daily at any hour!. I thought that a possible way would be in our system we let the user chose for example 0, 8, 16, 24 ( i.e 4 times of the 24 period day). Those user preferences are "propagated to Novu" as suscribers metadata. Then the workflow design would have the email step with variants. Each variant would have a condition ( ie suscriber preference is 8) and a digest step which will take care of the schedule. So basically would branch the workflow into 4 periods letting Novu accumulate/agregate events and deliver based on different digest steps. Any other suggestion ? Or would that approach work?
