Web & Email Notifications

Web Notifications

OpenWISP Notifications sends web notifications to recipients through Django's admin site. The following components facilitate browsing web notifications:

Notification Widget

A JavaScript widget has been added to make consuming notifications easy for users. The notification widget provides the following features:

• User Interface to help users complete tasks quickly.

• Dynamically loads notifications with infinite scrolling to prevent unnecessary network requests.

• Option to filter unread notifications.

• Option to mark all notifications as read with a single click.

Notification Toasts

Notification toast delivers notifications in real-time, allowing users to read notifications without opening the notification widget. A notification bell sound is played each time a notification is displayed through the notification toast.

Email Notifications

Along with web notifications OpenWISP Notifications also sends email notifications leveraging the send_email feature of OpenWISP Utils.
