Client applications¶
A tattler client is an application that uses tattler to deliver notifications, i.e. usually your application.
To let your application fire notifications via tattler you have 2 options:
If your application is written in python, use tattler’s client library.
If your application is written in any other language, hit tattler’s REST API.
Scopes¶
You usually want to give every application a scope in tattler.
This allows you to isolate the notifications fired by this application, which helps you keep your notifications clear and organized – and simplifies the context to keep in mind for template designers.
How to define scopes¶
Start from the events list from your product manager.
Understand what events must be notified, and what systems in your overall system should trigger those.
Map each notification to its triggering system:
Event |
Triggering system |
|---|---|
Reservation confirmed |
myWebApp |
Password changed |
myWebApp |
Appointment reminder |
myBookingSys |
CredCard charge error |
pmtintegrator |
Each system that triggers a notification will identify itself as a scope to tattler.
Communicate the scopes to your template designer so they can start organizing the templates for each event.
