## Updating + deleting notifications
_Supported on:_ :material-android: :material-firefox:
You can update, clear (mark as read), or delete notifications that have already been delivered. This is useful for scenarios
like download progress updates, replacing outdated information, or dismissing notifications that are no longer relevant.
The key concept is the **sequence ID** (`sequence_id` or `sid`): notifications with the same sequence ID are treated as
belonging to the same sequence, and clients will update/replace the notification accordingly.
### Updating notifications
To update an existing notification, publish a new message with the same sequence ID. Clients will replace the previous
notification with the new one.
You can either:
1. **Use the message ID**: First publish without a sequence ID, then use the returned message `id` as the sequence ID for updates
2. **Use a custom sequence ID**: Publish directly to `/<topic>/<sequence_id>` with your own identifier
=== "Using the message ID"
```bash
# First, publish a message and capture the message ID
$ curl -d "Downloading file..." ntfy.sh/mytopic
{"id":"xE73Iyuabi","time":1673542291,...}
# Then use the message ID to update it
$ curl -d "Download complete!" ntfy.sh/mytopic/xE73Iyuabi
```
=== "Using a custom sequence ID"
```bash
# Publish with a custom sequence ID
$ curl -d "Downloading file..." ntfy.sh/mytopic/my-download-123
# Update using the same sequence ID
$ curl -d "Download complete!" ntfy.sh/mytopic/my-download-123
```
=== "Using the X-Sequence-ID header"
```bash
# Publish with a sequence ID via header
$ curl -H "X-Sequence-ID: my-download-123" -d "Downloading..." ntfy.sh/mytopic
# Update using the same sequence ID
$ curl -H "X-Sequence-ID: my-download-123" -d "Done!" ntfy.sh/mytopic
```
You can also set the sequence ID via the `sid` query parameter or when [publishing as JSON](#publish-as-json) using the
`sequence_id` field.
### Clearing notifications
To clear a notification (mark it as read and dismiss it from the notification drawer), send a PUT request to
`/<topic>/<sequence_id>/clear` (or `/<topic>/<sequence_id>/read` as an alias):
=== "Command line (curl)"
```bash
curl -X PUT ntfy.sh/mytopic/my-download-123/clear
```
=== "HTTP"
```http
PUT /mytopic/my-download-123/clear HTTP/1.1
Host: ntfy.sh
```
This publishes a `message_clear` event, which tells clients to:
- Mark the notification as read in the app
- Dismiss the browser/Android notification
### Deleting notifications
To delete a notification entirely, send a DELETE request to `/<topic>/<sequence_id>`:
=== "Command line (curl)"
```bash
curl -X DELETE ntfy.sh/mytopic/my-download-123
```
=== "HTTP"
```http
DELETE /mytopic/my-download-123 HTTP/1.1
Host: ntfy.sh
```
This publishes a `message_delete` event, which tells clients to:
- Delete the notification from the database
- Dismiss the browser/Android notification
!!! info
Deleted sequences can be revived by publishing a new message with the same sequence ID. The notification will
reappear as a new message.
### Full example
Here's a complete example showing the lifecycle of a notification with updates, clearing, and deletion:
```bash
# 1. Create a notification with a custom sequence ID
$ curl -d "Starting backup..." ntfy.sh/mytopic/backup-2024
# 2. Update the notification with progress
$ curl -d "Backup 50% complete..." ntfy.sh/mytopic/backup-2024
# 3. Update again when complete
$ curl -d "Backup finished successfully!" ntfy.sh/mytopic/backup-2024
# 4. Clear the notification (dismiss from notification drawer)
$ curl -X PUT ntfy.sh/mytopic/backup-2024/clear
# 5. Later, delete the notification entirely
$ curl -X DELETE ntfy.sh/mytopic/backup-2024
```
When polling the topic, you'll see the complete sequence of events:
```bash
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1&since=all" | jq .
```
```json
{"id":"abc123","time":1673542291,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","sequence_id":"backup-2024","message":"Starting backup..."}
{"id":"def456","time":1673542295,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","sequence_id":"backup-2024","message":"Backup 50% complete..."}
{"id":"ghi789","time":1673542300,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","sequence_id":"backup-2024","message":"Backup finished successfully!"}
{"id":"jkl012","time":1673542305,"event":"message_clear","topic":"mytopic","sequence_id":"backup-2024"}
{"id":"mno345","time":1673542400,"event":"message_delete","topic":"mytopic","sequence_id":"backup-2024"}
```
Clients process these events in order, keeping only the latest state for each sequence ID.
