OpenProject Notifications API

Notifications are created through notifiable actions in OpenProject. Notifications are triggered by actions carried out in the system by users, e.g. editing a work package, but can also be send out because of time passing e.g. when a user is notified of a work package that is overdue. This endpoint only returns in-app notifications. ## Actions | Link | Description | Condition | |:-------------------:| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | | read_ian | Marks the notification as read | notification is unread | | unread_ian | Marks the notification as unread | notification is read | ## Linked Properties | Link | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | Condition | | :-----------: | ---------------------------------------- | -------------- | --------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | self | This notification | Notification | not null | READ | | | project | The project containing the resource | Project | not null | READ | | | actor | The user that caused the notification | User | | READ | optional | | resource | The resource the notification belongs to | Polymorphic | not null | READ | | | activity | The journal the notification belongs to | Polymorphic | | READ | optional | | details | A list of objects including detailed information | Polymorphic | | READ | optional | ## Local Properties | Property | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | Condition | | :----------: | --------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | id | Primary key | Integer | | READ | | | subject | The subject of the notification | String | | READ | | | reason | The reason causing the notification | String | | READ | | | readIAN | Whether the notification is read | Boolean | | READ | |
