Walkthrough

The documentation for topics in Novu was streamlined to present a concise conceptual overview. Detailed explanations, usage instructions, code samples, API references, and FAQs were removed, focusing solely on describing topics as dynamic collections of subscribers for broadcasting messages, with an emphasis on their conceptual role and unique identifiers.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
content/docs/platform/concepts/topics.mdx Condensed and refocused the topics documentation to a high-level conceptual overview; removed detailed explanations, usage instructions, code samples, API references, and FAQs.

Poem

In the warren of docs, we trimmed and pruned,
Leaving just the essence, the concept attuned.
No more long examples, nor API parade—
Just a crisp overview, simply conveyed.
🥕
For every topic, a key remains true—
As the docs grow lean, so Novu hops anew!

7-9: Missing comma after an introductory clause

In line 9, the phrase “direct user targeting while preserving per-subscriber preferences” reads more clearly with a comma after targeting:

- They help decouple your notification logic from direct user targeting while preserving per-subscriber preferences and personalization.
+ They help decouple your notification logic from direct user targeting, while preserving per-subscriber preferences and personalization.

34-38: Consider linking to the API reference for topicKey creation

The paragraph tells users that a topic is auto-created if it doesn't exist, but it doesn’t point them to the precise API endpoint/CLI command. Adding a short inline link (e.g., [Create topic API](/api/reference#create-topic)) would let readers immediately act on the information without hunting through docs.


40-44: Add a concrete “when to use topics” example

You nicely explain that topics are optional and complement individual targeting. A short, real-world use-case bullet (e.g., “Notify all staff on-call engineers during an incident”) would anchor the concept and help readers decide when to choose one approach over the other.

9-10: Add a comma after “targeting” for better readability

The sentence currently reads a bit dense. Introducing a comma after “targeting” separates the clauses and improves flow.

-This helps decouple your notification logic from direct user targeting while preserving per-subscriber preferences and personalization.
+This helps decouple your notification logic from direct user targeting, while preserving per-subscriber preferences and personalization.

38-40: Spell out implications of “auto-create” to avoid surprises

When a topic is implicitly created, readers may wonder about default properties (e.g., name, retention, quotas) or accidental proliferation across environments. A brief note such as “The topic is created with default settings and counts toward your environment limits” would pre-empt confusion.
