Row-Level Security

All tables have RLS enabled and are scoped to the current user's organization via get_user_org_id().

• notification_templates: SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE for own org. DELETE requires admin.
• notification_deliveries: SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE for own org. DELETE requires admin.
• notification_preferences: SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE for own org. DELETE requires admin.
• push_tokens: SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE for own org. DELETE requires admin.

Example Queries

Get unread in-app notifications for the current user:

SELECT nd.id, nd.body, nd.created_at
FROM notification_deliveries nd
JOIN users u ON u.id = nd.user_id
WHERE u.auth_id = auth.uid()
  AND nd.channel = 'in_app'
  AND nd.status != 'read'
ORDER BY nd.created_at DESC;

Count notifications by status for a given channel:

SELECT nd.status, count(*) AS total
FROM notification_deliveries nd
WHERE nd.org_id = get_user_org_id()
  AND nd.channel = 'email'
GROUP BY nd.status
ORDER BY total DESC;

Check a user's notification preferences:

SELECT np.channel, np.category, np.is_enabled
FROM notification_preferences np
WHERE np.user_id = '<user_id>'
  AND np.org_id = get_user_org_id()
ORDER BY np.channel, np.category;

Find all active push tokens for a user:

SELECT pt.token, pt.platform, pt.device_name, pt.last_used_at
FROM push_tokens pt
WHERE pt.user_id = '<user_id>'
  AND pt.is_active = true
  AND pt.org_id = get_user_org_id()
ORDER BY pt.last_used_at DESC NULLS LAST;

Get delivery failure rate by template over the last 30 days:

SELECT nt.name AS template_name,
       count(*) AS total_sent,
       count(*) FILTER (WHERE nd.status = 'failed') AS failed,
       round(
         100.0 * count(*) FILTER (WHERE nd.status = 'failed') / nullif(count(*), 0),
         1
       ) AS failure_pct
FROM notification_deliveries nd
JOIN notification_templates nt ON nt.id = nd.template_id
WHERE nd.org_id = get_user_org_id()
  AND nd.created_at >= now() - interval '30 days'
GROUP BY nt.name
ORDER BY failure_pct DESC;

List users who have opted out of email notifications:

SELECT u.full_name, u.email, np.category
FROM notification_preferences np
JOIN users u ON u.id = np.user_id
WHERE np.org_id = get_user_org_id()
  AND np.channel = 'email'
  AND np.is_enabled = false
ORDER BY u.full_name;
