Python Example

from atp import ATPClient, TriageNotification, Action, ResponseType
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Initialize the ATP client with service credentials
client = ATPClient(api_key="sk_live_lovelace_abc123")

# Create a notification for a deployment decision
notification = TriageNotification(
    title="Deploy to Production?",
    description="New version 2.1.0 is ready for deployment to production servers.",
    project="backend-api",
    actions=[
        Action(
            id="approve",
            label="Approve Deployment",
            response_type=ResponseType.SIMPLE,
            flags=["irreversible"]
        ),
        Action(
            id="reject",
            label="Reject",
            response_type=ResponseType.TEXT,
            constraints={"placeholder": "Reason for rejection"}
        )
    ],
    deadline=datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=4)
)

# Send the notification
response = client.send_notification(notification)
print(f"Notification sent: {response.notification_id}")

Best Practices

  • Always include a descriptive title and detailed description
  • Set appropriate deadlines based on the urgency of the decision
  • Choose the most appropriate response type for each action
  • Include relevant flags to communicate action characteristics
  • Add contextual metadata to help users make informed decisions
  • Keep attachments small and relevant
