Keeping an active relationship with your customers is good, especially when you sell subscriptions rather than a product. One way of doing it is by regularly updating your customers about new features, tips and other useful information.
It can also be useful to send specific messages to various customer groups, for example, you might have some customers running a beta version, in which case notifications can help to keep them updated. This is accomplished by grouping messages into channels.
Broadcasting messages to end users is implemented in a similar way as in the Updates tracking tutorial, except that we need to record the date of the last message i.e. result.Messages[0].Created
so that we can use it as a reference when searching for new notifications. If it is the first time they started it, we can use store DateTimeOffset.Now.ToUnixTimeSeconds()
and use it to retrieve messages.
The channel is set to news, but this can be changed depending on the user preferences, etc.
New messages can be sent on this page. You can also use our API endpoint.
