Is there a way to send push notification to only one device?

[JakovGlavac]

I have a use case where I need to send push notification to only one device. For example test push notification so that i don't spam other devices. It's not a big deal but I think that it is a pretty basic feature. Let me know what you think.

@JakovGlavac I think the easiest would be to create a new subscriber for that, but you mean in case where you have multiple push tokens assigned to a subscriber you want to only send to one of them?

I think it's a great functionality, do you mind creating an issue for that?

Hi, @JakovGlavac - wondering whether you still need our help here? solved?

[JakovGlavac]

It's not solved. I haven't made any progress.

From the release notes of last releases I didn't find a way to manage cleanly this use case. Is on the roadmap? For my company it's a critical feature to adopt Novu :-( One subscriber for token can be very complex to manage in the long run.

Workaround for this is to keep only one valid token in deviceTokens array.

The system I'm developing generates different types of events (for example: new-message, quota-warning, password-change).
The user can receive quota-warning on a certain e-mail + devicetoken, new-message on a different e-mail, etc.
An idea could be to be able to set <channel:deviceToken, (set of tags?)> in the subscriber's preferences.
In the trigger, in addition to the template, the client could indicate the tags.
The idea to have the mapping internally (so to have n different subscriber for the same internal user) is not ideal for my point of view.
