Using Parse.com and advanced targeting push notifications with trigger.io

I have gotten basic push notifications with Parse.com to work with trigger.io.

Now I'd like to take it to the next level and use advanced push targeting. More specifically I would like to target users within a certain distance from another user, to inform them that they have a friend nearby.

This looks quite straightforward with Parse's REST API: https://parse.com/docs/push_guide#sending-queries/REST.

However, this would require me to save location data on my user's Installation objects and for that I need the objectIdfor the Installation.

I read in another thread that at that point in time (September 2012) one currently couldn't retreive the objectId.

Given my use case, would it be possible for you to provide a workaround or an estimate when such a feature could be added to trigger.io?

A new forge.partners.parse.installationInfo API is available in v1.4.31 of our platform - see http://docs.trigger.io/en/v1.4/release-notes.html

You should be creating an Installation object yourself using a REST call. As mentioned here: https://www.parse.com/docs/rest#installations. In your case you will pass location as an additional parameter.
