Triggering processing of consolidated notifications

• Eventbridge for one off events
• Use for notificationGroups that have a recurring schedule
• Not for notificationGroups that consolidate when x number of messages received
• When a recurring group is processed, add it's schedule to the old schedule timeframe so that the time processed is standard (eg processes every day at the same time)

Processing notificationGroups after x number of messages

• This is handled each time a message comes in, count the number of consolidated notifications waiting to send

Limits

• Maybe hardcode a const max frequency or number of consolidated messages a group can handle, perhaps deactivating groups that process too many
• Hardcode a max number of consolidated messages to list in one message

Message content

• triggers match to flowSteps so we know the possible params of each message
• Each notificationGroup sets up for each message type whether to show aggregate or detailed list of the messages (can show both)
• Must show something for each triggerGroup
• Both aggregate and detailed can choose which params to show
• params can be an array which orders the params in the message output
• add these settings to ?versionedData

example consolidatedConfig

• in notificationGroup versionData
• each consolidated records it's triggerGroupId

[
      {
	      triggerGroupId: "xxx",
	      flowStepPropertyName: "xxx"
	      aggregate: "sum", //sum|count|max|average|...
	      label: "qqq" // user defined label for result
      },
      {
	      triggerGroupId: "xxx",
	      flowStepProperties: [
		    {
			flowStepPropertyName: "xxx",
			label: "qqq"
		    },
		    {
			flowStepPropertyName: "xxx",
			label: "rrr"
		    },
		    // ... 
	      ]
	      // no aggregate means detailed list of messages
	      label: "qqq" // user defined label for result
	      showTimestamps: true
	},
	// ...
]

• consolidated maybe have ttl setting to auto remove? Or could clean up each time a group is processed
