Send Condition

Introduction

The Send Condition feature allows you to register a notification order for a notification to be sent only if a specified condition is met. The requested send time can be either immediate or set for a future date.

Example Use Case

A typical use case is setting reminders where a notification should be sent only if a user has not yet completed a certain action. By using the send condition, the notification requesting a user to complete an action and the reminder notification can be ordered simultaneously.

Condition Evaluation

A send condition is evaluated as either true or false. It is true if the condition for sending the notification is met.

Condition Endpoint

The send condition is verified by the application using the condition endpoint provided in the notification order. Below is an example of a notification order request with a condition endpoint:

{
  "subject": "Reminder to complete task",
  "sendersReference": "application:qwerty",
  "requestedSendTime": "2024-07-24T12:00:00Z",
  "body": "Reminder to complete application by 31.07. Kind regards, service owner",
  "recipients": [
    {
      "emailAddress": "recipient@domain.com"
    }
  ],
  "conditionEndpoint": "https://serviceowner.com/application/qwerty/reminderRequired"
}

Request

The API client in Altinn Notifications will send a GET request to the provided endpoint with a bearer token. The token will be a Maskinporten token containing Digitaliseringsdirektoratet’s organization number as a part of the consumer claim and and the scope altinn:system/notifications.condition.check.

  • Method: GET
  • Headers:
    • Authorization: Bearer <maskinporten_token>
    • Content-Type: application/json
  • URL Parameters: None

Example Request

GET /application/qwerty/reminderRequired HTTP/1.1
Host: serviceowner.com
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI...
Content-Type: application/json

Example Decoded Token

Here is an example showing some of the claims in a decoded Maskinporten token from Altinn Notifications.

{
  "scope": "altinn:system/notifications.condition.check",
  "iss": "https://maskinporten.no/",  
  "consumer": {
    "authority": "iso6523-actorid-upis",
    "ID": "0192:991825827"
  }
}
  • scope: Specifies the scope of the token. This will always be altinn:system/notifications.condition.check
  • iss: Specifies the issuer of the token.
  • consumer: Specifies the consumer information. ID will always be 0192:991825827, representing Digdir.

Response

Upon evaluating the condition specified in the request, the endpoint should respond with a JSON object indicating whether the notification should be sent. Response code must be 200 OK regardless if condition is met.

Any other status code results in a retry attempt from the API client.

Example Response

{
  "sendNotification": true
}
  • sendNotification: A boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the notification should be sent (true) or not (false).
