Embed the in-app inbox

The in-app inbox is an embeddable, real-time notification feed your end-users see inside your product. End-users never hold a Notavia account — your backend mints a short-lived inbox token for them.

1. Mint an inbox token (server-side)

Use a secret key and the SDK’s token helper to mint a signed, short-lived token for the signed-in end-user:

.NET

var token = client.Tokens.MintInboxToken(endUserId: "user-123");

TypeScript

const token = client.tokens.mintInboxToken({ endUserId: 'user-123' });

Never expose a secret key to the browser — only the minted token reaches the client.

2. Drop in the component

Notavia ships a framework-agnostic web component and a Blazor component. Pass the minted token; the feed connects over SignalR and updates live.

<notify-inbox token="<minted-token>"></notify-inbox>

3. White-label it

Style the component with CSS custom properties so the inbox matches your product. The feed, unread counts, and mark-as-read all work out of the box.
