Scheduled notifications

Hi!
I’m working on my app for a while now. But im struggling with the scheduled notifications.

Here’s the situation:

  • I have a database called ‘Matches’, one of those properties is the Date/Time property.
  • At the match details, i have a button. With that button i want to create a scheduled notification for the logged in user, 1 day and 3 days ahead of the game. So there should be 2 scheduled notifications created.
  • The app is in Dutch, so you might not understand the text. The action is as follows:
  • Between (..) is magic text
    • Recipient: Logged in User
    • Title: Reminder
    • Body: Je moet fluiten op (Match Date/Time).
    • Scheduled Date: (custom formula) > (Match Date/Time)-3
    • Repeat type: none

Yes, i’ve also tried no custom formula but with the normal magic text Date/Time and then No-Formatting, that works. But i want math inside the scheduled time. I’ve tried a few ways, but i won’t manage to make it work. The scheduled Notification won’t be created. Permissions for notifications on the device is allowed.

Any help?

Thanks

Hi there, unfortunately in Adalo you can’t set the notifications recipient as the loggedin user, it won’t work, notifications can be triggered by a user but not received by them, that’s one of Adalo’s limitations,

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. I do think you are mistaken, because it actually does work. I’ve done it now multiple times. With a button i can schedule a notification in the future for myself (current logged in user) with the PWA app.

But i fixed the problem now, instead of using math in the scheduled notification, i’ve created a way to get the date/time i want to send the reminder, as a property in the database and then it is a simple magic text with no formatting.

So i’ve fixed the issue myself :slight_smile: , but a reminder, you can actually schedule notifications for yourself.

Hi @sdeman98, welcome to the community! :tada:

Read here : Scheduled Notifications With Math - #2 by Dilon

And yes, scheduled notifications can be sent to the logged in user/notification triggering user which makes it special.

Thank you and have a great day!
