  title: NotificationAPI REST In-App Inbox Users API
  description: NotificationAPI is notifications infrastructure for developers. A single REST API sends multi-channel notifications - email, SMS, mobile push, web push, in-app inbox, automated voice call, and Slack - manages user identities, enforces per-user notification preferences and opt-outs, schedules and retracts notifications, and exposes delivery logs. All endpoints are scoped to your account via the clientId path segment and authenticated with HTTP Basic auth using clientId:clientSecret.
