Create a broadcast to send notifications to upto a 1,000 recipients - users or topic subscribers. You can identify users by their email address or by an external_id.

You don't have to import your users into MagicBell. If a user does not exist we'll create it automatically.

You can send user attributes like first_name, custom_attributes, and more when creating a broadcast.

A new notification will be shown in the inbox of each recipient in real-time. It will also be delivered to each recipient through all channels you have enabled for your project.
