    Provider content overrides in the dashboard

    Provider content overrides can now be configured directly in the Novu Dashboard. Use them when a workflow needs fields from a provider's native API that the shared step editor does not expose, such as Slack Block Kit, WhatsApp templates, or PagerDuty incident fields.

    Previously, these payloads had to be added to every trigger() call in application code. You can now save the JSON once on the workflow step. It applies to every trigger and moves from development to production with the workflow.

  • Novu MCP OAuth

    Connect Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients to Novu with OAuth - no API key to copy, your organization picked up automatically on sign-in.

    Novu MCP OAuth sign-in — one-time consent to let an AI client act on your Novu workspace

    The Novu MCP Server now supports OAuth for Novu Cloud. Point your AI client at the MCP URL, approve the sign-in prompt on first use, and you're connected — no secret key to copy, paste, or rotate.

    OAuth is the recommended path for interactive clients like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and ChatGPT. API keys still work as a fallback for clients without remote OAuth, autonomous agents, and self-hosted Novu.

  • Account Security Upgrades: Passkeys, Smarter Client Trust, zxcvbn, Turnstile

    Sign in with a passkey, skip Client Trust when 2FA is on, get real password-strength scoring at signup, and run into bot challenges only when traffic looks suspicious.

    Four account-security improvements ship together today: passkey login, Client Trust deferring to 2FA, zxcvbn-ts password scoring, and a smart CAPTCHA on sign-up.

    Existing sessions are unaffected.

  • Throttle Step

    The new Throttle Step allows you to limit the frequency of a workflow execution for each subscriber within a specified time window. This will prevent duplicate or excessive notifications across all channels. You can use fixed or dynamic windows. Perfect for managing high-frequency alerts, cron jobs, or multi-project notifications.

    Throttle Step

    The new Throttle step in the Novu workflow editor allows you to limit the number of notifications a subscriber receives within a specified time frame, ensuring they receive the right amount, neither too many nor too few.

    When a trigger fires repeatedly (e.g., from cron jobs or high-frequency alerts), throttling ensures that subscribers don’t receive duplicate messages across any channel.
