Get Rendered Notification Content

The Courier Messages API lets you get the rendered output of any Courier notification in your send history using the history endpoint.

The Courier Messages API allows you to fetch the array of events of a message you've previously sent, including the rendered content by using the endpoint.

To fetch the content for a given message there are two API calls that you need to make

  1. Fetch message history using GET /messages/{message_id}/history and the message ID that was returned in response to your send command.

  2. Fetch message content using a root-relative URL

Fetch Message History

Message history can be fetched by calling the history endpoint or by calling the getMessageHistory function in our SDKs.

Message history will contain a RENDERED event that contains links to the rendered output for the message.

Fetch Message Content

The output section in the history response contains the root-relative URL that can be used to fetch the content that was rendered and sent to the provider. The output url must be appended to the Courier API host (https://api.courier.com).

Here is an example of a rendered push event:
