No Authentication

No-authentication mode lets the widget connect using only a user identifier, with no token verification. This is the fastest way to get started during development.
This mode does not verify the user’s identity. Anyone with the API key and a user ID can connect as that user. Do not use this in production with sensitive notifications.

​
Setup

Pass authType: "none" with the user’s identity: 
<NotifizzInbox
  options={{
    apiKey: "YOUR_FRONT_API_KEY",
    authType: "none",
    userId: "user_42",
    userEmail: "alice@example.com",
  }}
/>

​
Required fields

FieldTypeDescription
authType"none"Must be set to "none".
userIdstringThe user’s unique identifier.
userEmailstringThe user’s email address.

​
When to use

This mode is appropriate for local development, demos, hackathons, or internal tools where security is not a concern. It lets you test the full notification flow without setting up backend token generation or Firebase.

​
Migrating to production

When you’re ready to go to production, switch to one of the secure authentication strategies:

Backend tokens

Recommended for apps with their own auth system.

Firebase

Zero-effort if you already use Firebase Auth.
