Enterprise workspace notifications service
A notification builder implemented through a graphical user interface (“GUI”) provides a platform for building notifications and defining priorities for how the notifications will be presented to users of managed devices. Elements included in the notification builder and selectable as part of a build process can provide options for naming a notification, providing content for the notification, defining recipients, setting a respective priority, and creating action buttons. An action button can allow a user that has received a notification built with the notification builder to interact with the notification in a predetermined manner. The GUI can also provide data relating to the notification, such as success/failure, read/unread, etc.
1. A method for providing a notification builder in a graphical user interface (“GUI”), comprising:
providing a first option to define a notification as part of a build process for the notification, the first option including:
a notification recipient element, and
a notification priority element;
providing a second option to create content for the notification, the second option including:
a template selector that includes at least one custom template option,
at least one content input field, and
an action builder that includes build options for creating an action element in the notification that a recipient can interact with, the action builder including an option to make the action element repeatable and an option to make the action element primary, wherein making the action element primary causes the action element to be highlighted and placed as a first of a plurality of action elements in the notification; and
providing a third option that, when selected, creates the notification based on the first and second options.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action builder includes a behavior selection element with predefined options for responses to a selection of an action button.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predefined options include at least one of: a preconfigured API call, an API call after selection, and an API call based on custom parameters.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second option includes a preview window that displays the notification as the notification is built, wherein the preview window is updated in real-time during the build process.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification recipient element includes a recipient type element and a recipient selection element, and wherein a group of values that can be selected for the recipient selection element in the build process depends from a value selected for the recipient type element.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first option includes a notification name element.
7. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a hardware-based processor, performs stages providing a notification builder in a graphical user interface (“GUI”), the stages comprising:
providing a first option to define a notification as part of a build process for the notification, the first option including:
a notification recipient element, and
a notification priority element;
providing a second option to create content for the notification, the second option including:
a template selector that includes at least one custom template option,
at least one content input field, and
an action builder that includes build options for creating an action element in the notification that a recipient can interact with, the action builder including an option to make the action element repeatable and an option to make the action element primary, wherein making the action element primary causes the action element to be highlighted and placed as a first of a plurality of action elements in the notification; and
providing a third option that, when selected, creates the notification based on the first and second options.
8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the action builder includes a behavior selection element with predefined options for responses to a selection of an action button.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the predefined options include at least one of: a preconfigured API call, an API call after selection, and an API call based on custom parameters.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the second option includes a preview window that displays the notification as the notification is built, wherein the preview window is updated in real-time during the build process.
11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the notification recipient element includes a recipient type element and a recipient selection element, and wherein a group of values that can be selected for the recipient selection element in the build process depends from a value selected for the recipient type element.
12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the first option includes a notification name element.
13. A system for providing a notification builder in a graphical user interface (“GUI”), comprising:
a memory storage including a non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions; and
a computing device including a hardware-based processor that executes the instructions to carry out stages comprising:
providing a first option to define a notification as part of a build process for the notification,
the first option including:
a notification recipient element, and
a notification priority element;
providing a second option to create content for the notification, the second option including:
a template selector that includes at least one custom template option,
at least one content input field, and
an action builder that includes build options for creating an action element in the notification that a recipient can interact with, the action builder including an option to make the action element repeatable and an option to make the action element primary, wherein making the action element primary causes the action element to be highlighted and placed as a first of a plurality of action elements in the notification; and
providing a third option that, when selected, creates the notification based on the first and second options.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the action builder includes a behavior selection element with predefined options for responses to a selection of an action button.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the predefined options include at least one of: a preconfigured API call, an API call after selection, and an API call based on custom parameters.
16. The system of claim 13 , computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the second option includes a preview window that displays the notification as the notification is built, wherein the preview window is updated in real-time during the build process.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the notification recipient element includes a recipient type element and a recipient selection element, and wherein a group of values that can be selected for the recipient selection element in the build process depends from a value selected for the recipient type element.
