    'Email increment subject',
    'email/template/path',
    ['topic' => $topic],                    // not incremental data
    ['comments' => $comments],              // incremental data
    ['sendDate' => 1580108540, 'receiverEmailColumn' => 'email']
);

// Increment notification has been created
// in 10 sec new comment has been added to the same topic
sleep(10);
$comments = [
    ['text' => 'baz']
];

$bulkNotification->addIncrement(
    $userEntity,
    'Email increment subject',
    'email/template/path',
    ['topic' => $topic],                    // not incremental data
    ['comments' => $comments]               // incremental data
);
```

create email template.ctp

```

Hi , your topic  has new comment(s):

      Comment #

```

To send notifications run

```
bin/cake BulkNotifications run
```

Actually you need add this command to the crontab.

Configure:
----------

[](#configure)

Both methods `add` and `addIncrement` support `$options` parameter:

```
$options = [
 'sendDate' => 1580108540,         // (null by default) if this date isn't reached notification won't be sent
 'receiverEmailColumn' => 'email'  // (`email` by default) email column in the receiver entity
];
```

Shell BulkNotifications supports config `BulkNotifications.send_delay` in seconds (30sec by default) It won't sent an incremental email if previous notification has been created or updated less than 30 sec ago.

In config/app.php you can add:

```
'BulkNotifications' => [
  'send_delay' => 60
],
```
