This is not dissimilar to what I am actually doing:

    CREATE TABLE foo (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);

    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION shipit (
        VARIADIC things TEXT[]
    ) RETURNS BOOL LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
    BEGIN
        WITH inserted AS (
            INSERT INTO foo (name)
            SELECT * FROM unnest(things)
            RETURNING id
        )
        PERFORM pg_notify(
            'inserted ids',
            ARRAY(SELECT * FROM inserted)::text
        );
        RETURN FOUND;
    END;
    $$;

Only I am using a dummy row variable instead of PERFORM, of course.

Best,

David
