Scheduled Push Notifications.
Hello ! No description on this one. Do you mean adding “schedule” to the existing push notification trigger system ?
Or allowing to schedule push notification from zapier or API, independently of direct in app user action ? (Frequent use case when I want to setup motivating notifications everyweek for coaching app for instance). Shall I create another feature request for this ?
PS : good luck building adalo, best architecture and design choices I’ve seen so far compared to buildfire, bubble and such. With more powerful and custom api and components for devs it will be an amazing MVP building platform.
I’m guessing this request is meant to represent scheduling batch push notifications (i.e. push campaigns rather than transactional push based on a specific event). I’d recommend not trying to build a push notification campaign management system in Adalo. That seems like the job of a separate service. An integration with OneSignal or some existing push campaign tool seems like a better use of the Adalo team’s time.
As part of this, it would be great to be able to add a thumbnail to the notifications (either linked to the database or uploaded, like the standard image component)
Ian Miller: Agreed, but it would, however, be great to be able to notify someone at a time in future about an event - eg, task reminders, daily balance updates, requests for reviews after a delivery - these are still transactional, but just not immediate.
Allowing to schedule push notifications (with filters by users, etc.) is very useful.
Eduardo Galvani: I agree! There are situations where I wouldn’t want to send messages to all users - only a filtered subset of users.
It would be great if there is an action to send push notifications in Zapier.
Anthony Ph: You might be able to do this already with the Zapier integration? You’d probably need to look at building it in Zapier as an Action, rather than Adalo: Adalo Integrations | Connect Your Apps with Zapier
Mickael Coenca: I could really use both use cases, where either you could schedule a future notification or set of future notifications with a certain action; or use Zapier API to send push notification to users based on external scheduling done on behalf of users. This would require DB syncing and including the user’s unique identifier of some kind to be sure that we’re triggering push notifications to the right users. Any estimate on how long it might take to get this functionality?
When working on this, can you also consider recurring notifications that are requested by the user?
For example, I use a to-do list app, and I have it remind me every morning at 8am to look at my list. It’d be great to have users schedule their own notification “reminders” as well.
We can now do this with Zapier now correct? I’m wanting to schedule push notifications based on a date/time stored within an Adalo collection record. I’m pretty sure this is possible now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNF0_EPbMDg&feature=emb_title
I’m clearly missing something from the tutorial video. Which app do you connect with within Zapier to configure push notifications?
Is the implementation only using the Webhooks by Zapier app?
Stuart Powell: this is a key feature I’d love to implement.
What’s the latest on this? Thanks ![]()
can any one let me know how this can be achieved with adalo.
Hallo. Any news on this? It would be useful to know before embarking on pushing stuff out to Zapier if this is coming soon?
Commenting on this in reference to the Adalo video posted about scheduled notifications (which is less than ideal) and what I have to make this happen.
I am using not only push notifications but also user groups, so I needed to ability to send push notifications to specific users based on the group that they are in from a screen within the app. Adalo is pretty weak on these things natively which blows my mind because it’s standard in builders such as AppyPie and GoodBarber. I don’t see how a user based app could be in business without these features. But I digress…
So what I accomplished was building user groups, and setting up a dashboard to send out instant, scheduled, AND recurring push notifications, as well as a Notifications Tray for users to view what has been sent to them and one for admins to see what has been sent, who, when, and future scheduled or recurring.
This was done through a lot of complex working of the databases to get the groups, and then several databases for push notifications. Then I connected it to Integromat where I parse the data and send it to either Google Firebase (Instant), Acuity > Firebase (Scheduled), or Todoist > Firebase (Recurring) to make everything happen. This is much less than ideal but it’s something. Of course, I wouldn’t need any of this if Adalo built out the basic features for this that all of their competitors have. The things I trade out for just a little bit more usability I guess. Just glad I can do things like this a manipulate data how I want.
Can we please get increased focus on overall push functionality?
