Examples

await batchQueue.enqueue(item)

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const batchQueue = queue('batch').for('enqueue')

const items = [
  {
    type: 'Email',
    to: 'hello@example.com',
    subject: 'Notification',
    message: 'A notification from Nitric',
  },
  {
    type: 'SMS',
    to: '+17200000000',
    message: 'A text message from Nitric',
  },
]

await batchQueue.enqueue(items)

Dealing with failures

In rare cases when enqueueing messages some might fail to be sent. The response from enqueue() will include an array of any messages that failed to send. You can process this array to retry or log the error.

const failed = await batchQueue.enqueue(messages)

for (const message in failed) {
  console.log(message)
}
