## Intro

[Novu][novu] provides open-source notification infrastructure for all communication channels in one place: Email, SMS, Direct, and Push. It integrates with almost all major email providers (Mailgun, Sendgrid, Postmark, etc.), SMS providers (e.g., Twilio or Plivo), and a large selection of push and chat providers (such as OneSignal or Slack) while providing a unified API for sending notifications.

## Pre-requisites

Ensure the following environment variable is set:

- `NOVU_API_KEY` - Novu API key.

Otherwise, you can pass it in as an argument to the `Novu` constructor.
