DeliveryOptions - IEEE-Team-3/map GitHub Wiki

Delivery options define how and where notifications are delivered to users. Depending on the user's preferences, notifications can be sent via multiple channels such as email, in-app alerts, or push notifications. This flexibility allows users to customize their notification experience.

• Email: Send notifications directly to the user's email address.
• Push Notifications: Send real-time alerts to the user's mobile or desktop device.
• In-App Alerts: Display notifications within the app itself, often in the form of banners, modals, or icons.
• SMS: Send notifications via text message (if configured).

const DeliveryOptionSchema = new Schema({
  method: { type: String, enum: ['Email', 'Push', 'In-App', 'SMS'], required: true },
  enabled: { type: Boolean, default: true },
});

1. A notification is triggered based on an event, such as a new message in a chat.
2. The system checks the user's delivery preferences.
3. Notifications are sent through the chosen delivery methods, such as email and push notifications.
