worklight send push notification for all subscribed users

Question

I have to schedule a downtime in order to do some stuff on the production server. My customer wants me to send a push notification to all the subscribed users in order to notify them by the downtime.

Is that possible? If I want to do it even by code will it be possible? I'm on worklight 6.0.0.0

Answer 1

Maybe you can use Wl.Server.sendMessage, you just need to send the applicationId and notificationOptions where you can pass only the message to send and this method will be send to all users, of if you want you can pass a kind of target for specify the users

I hope this help you

Using the Worklight Console you can notify the users of your application taking advantage of the "Active, Notifying" setting. This will allow you to display a notification message on startup telling the customer of scheduled downtime. Even when the downtime occurs you can use the same mechanism and set the application to "disabled" with a notification message stating the application is currently down. Please look at the following documentation for more information:
