Search your service for a NotificationJobEnqueuer instance. If there isn't one, create and export it:

import { NotificationJobEnqueuer } from "@clipboard-health/notifications";

import { BackgroundJobsService } from "./setup";

// Create and export one instance of this in your microservice.
export const notificationJobEnqueuer = new NotificationJobEnqueuer({
  // Use your instance of `@clipboard-health/mongo-jobs` or `@clipboard-health/background-jobs-postgres` here.
  adapter: new BackgroundJobsService(),
});

Implement a minimal job, calling off to a NestJS service for any business logic and to send the notification.

import { type BaseHandler } from "@clipboard-health/background-jobs-adapter";
import { type NotificationData } from "@clipboard-health/notifications";
import { isFailure } from "@clipboard-health/util-ts";

import { type ExampleNotificationService } from "./exampleNotification.service";

export type ExampleNotificationData = NotificationData<{
  workplaceId: string;
}>;

export const EXAMPLE_NOTIFICATION_JOB_NAME = "ExampleNotificationJob";

// For mongo-jobs, you'll implement HandlerInterface<ExampleNotificationData["Job"]>
// For background-jobs-postgres, you'll implement Handler<ExampleNotificationData["Job"]>
export class ExampleNotificationJob implements BaseHandler<ExampleNotificationData["Job"]> {
  public name = EXAMPLE_NOTIFICATION_JOB_NAME;

  constructor(private readonly service: ExampleNotificationService) {}

  async perform(data: ExampleNotificationData["Job"], job: { attemptsCount: number }) {
    const result = await this.service.sendNotification({
      ...data,
      // Include the job's attempts count for debugging, this is called `retryAttempts` in `background-jobs-postgres`.
      attempt: job.attemptsCount + 1,
    });

    if (isFailure(result)) {
      throw result.error;
    }
  }
}

Search your service for a constant that stores workflow keys. If there isn't one, create and export it:

export const WORKFLOW_KEYS = {
  eventStartingReminder: "event-starting-reminder",
} as const;
Copy

Enqueue your job:

import {
  EXAMPLE_NOTIFICATION_JOB_NAME,
  type ExampleNotificationData,
} from "./exampleNotification.job";
import { notificationJobEnqueuer } from "./notificationJobEnqueuer";
import { WORKFLOW_KEYS } from "./workflowKeys";

async function enqueueNotificationJob() {
  await notificationJobEnqueuer.enqueueOneOrMore<ExampleNotificationData["Enqueue"]>(
    EXAMPLE_NOTIFICATION_JOB_NAME,
    // Important: Read the TypeDoc documentation for additional context.
    {
      /**
       * Set expiresAt at enqueue-time so it remains stable across job retries. Use date-fns in your
       * service instead of this manual calculation.
       */
      expiresAt: new Date(Date.now() + 60 * 60_000).toISOString(),
      // Set idempotencyKey at enqueue-time so it remains stable across job retries.
      idempotencyKey: {
        resourceId: "event-123",
      },
      // Set recipients at enqueue-time so they respect our notification provider's limits.
      recipients: ["userId-1"],

      workflowKey: WORKFLOW_KEYS.eventStartingReminder,

      // Any additional enqueue-time data passed to the job:
      workplaceId: "workplaceId-123",
    },
  );
}

// eslint-disable-next-line unicorn/prefer-top-level-await
void enqueueNotificationJob();
Copy

Trigger the job in your NestJS service:

import { type NotificationClient } from "@clipboard-health/notifications";

import { type ExampleNotificationData } from "./exampleNotification.job";

type ExampleNotificationDo = ExampleNotificationData["Job"] & { attempt: number };

export class ExampleNotificationService {
  constructor(private readonly client: NotificationClient) {}

  async sendNotification(params: ExampleNotificationDo) {
    const { attempt, expiresAt, idempotencyKey, recipients, workflowKey, workplaceId } = params;

    // Assume this comes from a database and are used as template variables...
    // Use @clipboard-health/date-time's formatShortDateTime in your service for consistency.
    const data = { favoriteColor: "blue", favoriteAt: new Date().toISOString(), secret: "2" };

    // Important: Read the TypeDoc documentation for additional context.
    return await this.client.trigger({
      attempt,
      body: {
        data,
        recipients,
        workplaceId,
      },
      expiresAt: new Date(expiresAt),
      idempotencyKey,
      keysToRedact: ["secret"],
      workflowKey,
    });
  }
}
