Novu + Memtro

Did the password reset notifications go out, and which ones failed?

Novu sends your product's notifications, and Memtro reads what happened to them. It reads the activity feed of triggered workflows with each step's status, and messages per channel with delivery state and errors. It reads subscribers, workflows and topics. When asked and granted, it can trigger or cancel a workflow and manage subscribers and topics. It can also switch a workflow on or off, mark inbox notifications and delete messages. Novu can tell Memtro when a message fails, and a job can start on it. Message content and addresses are never returned.

In Memtro

What you can do with Novu in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Novu tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Reads the activity feed of triggered workflows, with each step's status and provider.
  2. 02Reads messages per channel with delivery state, whether seen or read, and the error when one failed.
  3. 03Reads subscribers by id, workflows with status and when last triggered, and topics with their subscribers.
  4. 04When asked and granted, triggers a workflow, which sends real notifications to the named subscribers or a topic, or cancels one that is pending.
  5. 05When asked and granted, manages subscribers and topics, switches a workflow on or off, marks inbox notifications or deletes a message.
  6. 06With events on, a failed message, a delivered message or a changed notification preference can start a job.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Novu. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Trigger a workflow, sending its notifications to named subscribers or a topic
  2. 02Cancel a triggered workflow's pending digests and delays
  3. 03Create a subscriber
  4. 04Update a subscriber's name, email, phone, locale or timezone
  5. 05Delete a subscriber with their messages, preferences and topic subscriptions
  6. 06Create a topic
  7. 07Add subscribers to a topic
  8. 08Remove subscribers from a topic
  9. 09Delete a topic
  10. 10Switch a workflow on or off
  11. 11Mark a subscriber's inbox notification read, unread, archived or unarchived
  12. 12Delete a message

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Novu, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Novu's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Novu signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Novu is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Novu + Memtro
  • Which messages failed to send today, and why?

  • Did the password reset email reach subscriber 4821?

  • When was the weekly digest workflow last triggered?

  • Who is subscribed to the release-notes topic?

  • Switch off the onboarding reminder workflow.

01

Chasing failed emails

Dan Fletcher, product engineer at Acme Ltd, asked why customers said reset emails were missing. Memtro read the email messages from the last day and showed the failures with the provider's error for each.

02

Pausing a faulty workflow

When Novu told Memtro that messages were failing at Northwind, a job started. It read the failing workflow's recent messages and errors, and posted the summary to Sarah Chen, who switched the workflow off through Memtro.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Novu most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Novu is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Email, calendar and chat

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withSecret key, plus region
  1. 1

    In the Novu dashboard, pick the environment at the top, open API Keys and copy the Secret Key, not the Application Identifier.

  2. 2

    In Memtro, open Connections → Novu and paste the Secret key. Set Region to EU if your account was created there.

  3. 3

    The key has full access to that environment. An administrator grants the trigger, subscriber and topic actions by name. Events need Novu's Team or Enterprise plan, are turned on from the connection's Events tab, then added under Webhooks in Novu.

  4. 4

    Ask which notifications failed today.

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Novu tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Novu?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: trigger a workflow, sending its notifications to named subscribers or a topic; cancel a triggered workflow's pending digests and delays; create a subscriber; update a subscriber's name, email, phone, locale or timezone; delete a subscriber with their messages, preferences and topic subscriptions; create a topic; add subscribers to a topic; remove subscribers from a topic; delete a topic; switch a workflow on or off; mark a subscriber's inbox notification read, unread, archived or unarchived; delete a message. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Novu connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Novu data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Novu?+

Secret key, plus region. In the Novu dashboard, pick the environment at the top, open API Keys and copy the Secret Key, not the Application Identifier.

Can Novu start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Novu, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Novu's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
