+  - It can be either a Bill Topic or an Org Topic
+- **Notification Events**
+  - A BillHistoryNotificationEvent is created when a subscribed Bill has an updated history
+  - A TestimonySubmissionNotificationEvent is created when a subscribed Bill has testimony published and when a Organization/User publishes testimony

 ### Cloud Functions
 
 The following cloud functions are involved in the notification process:
 
-1. **publishNotifications**:
+1. **populateBillHistoryNotifictionEvents** and **populateTestimonySubmissionNotificationEvents**:
+
+   - Creates/Updates a notificationEvent document when:
+     - A Bill is created or updated, if the history is updated, it will update the notificationEvent history and not create a new one.
+     - Testimony is published or updated, if the testimony content is updated, it will update the notificationEvent testimony content an not create a new one.
 
-   - Creates a notification document from an event.
+2. **publishNotifications**:
+
+   - Creates a notification document from an notification event.
    - Populates the user's `userNotificationFeed` collection with a notification document.
    - Populates the newsfeed.
 
    For example, here is a notification document in a given user's feed:
 
-![example-org-notification](/functions/src/notifications/images/example-org-notification.png)
+![example-bill-history-update-notification](/functions/src/notifications/images/example-bill-history-update-notification.png)
+
+- There are two key fields to differentiate whether a notification came from following a bill or following a user/organization:
+  - `isBillMatch` and `isUserMatch` indicate the source of the notification.
+    - For example, if a user follows both a bill and an organization, and the organization posts testimony to that same bill, both `isBillMatch` and `isUserMatch` will be true.
+    - If a user follows only the bill and not the organization, `isBillMatch` will be true and `isUserMatch` will be false, and vice versa.
 
-1. **deliverNotifications**:
+3. **deliverNotifications**:
 
    - Sends notifications to users who have a `notificationFrequency` of 'daily' and whose `nextDigestAt` is less than or equal to the current time.
    - Populates the `emails` collection with a notification document.
 
-2. **cleanUpNotifications**:
+4. **cleanUpNotifications**:
    - Removes notifications from the users' userNotificationFeed collection that are older than 60 days.
    - Removes notifications from the notificationEvents collection that are older than 60 days.
    - Removes notifications from the emails collection that are older than 60 days.

 ## Future Considerations
 
 - `publishNotifications` currently listens to the `notificationEvents` collection but could be extended to include other collections.
