MagicBell - Override content

Channel Overrides

notification.overrides is an optional body parameter you can set when you create a notification. It is used to change a specific channel's title, content, and action url when that content should differ from other channels.

Below illustrates how to make the subject of an email different from the title of other notifications.

{
  "notification": {
    "title": "Task assigned to you: Upgrade to Startup plan",
    "content": "Hello, please upgrade us to the Startup plan. Thank you.",
    "category": "billing",
    "recipients": [
      {
        "email": "dan@example.com"
      }
    ],
    "overrides": {
      "channels": {
        "email": {
          "title": "[Urgent] Upgrade to Startup plan"
        },
        "web_push": {
          "title": "Task assigned to you"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The keys accepted are:

in_app.title

Provider Overrides

You can use notification.overrides to send payoad specific to a delivery provider like Postmark, Mailgun or Firebase.

The data is sent to the provider's API. MagicBell does not validate or transform this data. Please refer to your provider's API reference, here you have links to some of the providers we integrate with:

For example, you can add cc and bcc recipients for Postmark sending this payload to the create notifications endpoint:

{
  "notification": {
    "title": "Task assigned to you: Upgrade to Startup plan",
    "content": "Hello, please upgrade us to the Startup plan. Thank you.",
    "category": "billing",
    "recipients": [
      {
        "email": "dan@example.com"
      }
    ],
    "overrides": {
      "providers": {
        "postmark": {
          "Cc": "mila@example.com",
          "Bcc": "hana@example.com"
