i have a webhook set for firing when notification is created. it has a `notification_type` variable which is a number. I want to know what each number is indicating? I didnt find any doc for it.

We had a conversation in the past that may be of help:

> Hi, a quick question: Can you send notifications to users with the API? (or another way). In the documentation, I found how to GET notifications of the user, how to mark them as read, but not how to POST some. If it isn’t possible, I guess there is always to possibility of using private messages instead. I would appreciate any input on this. Thanks.
You can find all the existing types here:
